Because of everything I've heard about this book I thought I knew what it was going to be. The type of book it was. I tried to read it years ago but the the second person narrative was hard to get into. But it actually has heart. It's not just about some 1980s coke induced nyc partying. There is that but there's much more. It's a quick read once you get going, just a continuous progression. I recommend it to anyone who has ever felt lost in their lives and maybe got turned around a bit, and I recommend reading it on a park bench or a train, preferably in Manhattan. I'm not sure where I picked up the recommendation for this book but it would have been a list somewhere. From what I can tell this is held in some regard and liking a good dose of debauchery I couldn't wait to get stuck in. For some reason it just didnt really work for me. I found the writing style, especially the fact that it is written in the second person to be quite entertaining. The story moves along at a good pace and it kept my attention throughout. Despite this I felt that something was missing for me. For this kind of story I much preffered Junky by William S Burroughs. I can see why it is really tied in with American Psycho, another book that I really didnt like although for different reasons. There isnt really anything for me to add, it was ok but no more. I have NO idea what to make of this week. I felt that it ended halfway through the novel. I'm hoping the main character had some sort of inner peace, because man, was he screwed up. I mean, this book had one of my favorite tropes: character being incredibly selfdestructive, thinking that none of his loved ones are noticing, only to run scared when they do notice and then being forced back to health by tough love. That was good. For the rest, it seemed a lot of manpain. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

P.S. poi il film l'ho visto e non è così male, a parte alcune scelte di casting poco centrate. ( )
