Would you let your loli read Loli?

How's the book anyway? Is it the classic that people make it out to be? Going to pick that up, or American Psycho. Which?

Just read Lolita. AP is one case of the movie being better than the book.

>> No.2894134

Someone told me reading AP will let me better judge whether the events actually occurred or if it was just in Bateman's head.

In the movie it all happened.

In the book only like half of it happened.


As anon said, the movie is much better than the book.

Movie = funny and clever
Book= goes on forever when a point is already made--> Poorly written

You know the music reviews that made the movie unique and interesting? That's like 20% of the book. Don't want.

Hmm, okay. Lolita it is, then. Do you think I should read it eventually, or just forget it entirely?

I totally disagree that AP's movie is better than the novel. The movie is good, but I really did enjoy the book more. Lolita is probably better, regardless.

Really?
I got that the book made it clear that the murders did happen and that the movie made it vague whether or not they did.

If you read Lolita first, you will have read the model for AP.
Well, not entirely, but Lolita is certainly a strong antecedent of AP.

AP book is way better than AP movie. Mainly because Patrick Bateman is actually a character in the book, not just Christian Bale acting crazy.

I cannot see Christian Bale as anyone other than Bateman. Through all of Batman, whenever he's Wayne, the thought of Bateman creeps into my head.

I'd actually love to see a Batman movie where Bale plays both the Joker AND Batman. Tell me he's not perfect for the role: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-YbYU1s4h0&NR=1
