My first BEE novel This is my first book by BEE and only casually picked it up in the bookshop.
Its a well written book, not for the faint hearted as it can be quite graphic indetail and some parts rather disturbing (I cringed heavily when he mentions the animals)
I loved the intricate detail he put into every action and throughout the book I was imagining each detail, I wont go into too much detail as it will spoil the book.

The violence in American Psycho, which is described down to the closest of details, is only a small part of the book as a whole. The rest of it is about the day-to-day life of an American businessman who is rich, good-looking but rarely happy and those are the most entertaining parts for me.
