Synopsis: Glamorama
The centre of the world: 1990s Manhattan. Victor Ward, a model with perfect abs and all the right friends, is seen and photographed everywhere, even in places he hasn't been and with people he doesn't know. On the eve of opening the trendiest nightclub in New York history, he's living with one beautiful model and having an affair with another. Now it's time to move to the next stage. But the future he gets is not the one he had in mind."Does for the cold, minimal '90s what "American Psycho" did for the Wall Street greed of the '80s. You name it, he manages to get it all in" - "Vogue". "Gets under the skin of our celebrity culture in a way that is both illuminating and frightening" - "Daily Telegraph". "A Bonfire of the Vanities - "Glamorama" is more like a Semtex attack on our superficialities" - Face". "An epic that takes his blank surrealism into a realm equalled only by DeLillo" - "Arena". "A master stylist with hideously interesting new-fangled manners and the heart of an old-fashioned moralist" - "Observer". "Brilliant...He is fast becoming a writer of real American genius" - "GQ". "An American masterpiece" - "Scotland on Sunday".

I was disappointed with this book, having read American Psycho, I was taken in by Ellis's writing style, all consuming and hypnotic, but this second attempt to emulate it once again takes it one step too far. I found the narrative hard to follow, the characters undefined, with the whole show taking place under a circus tent, in a show directed by 8 year old kids on crack (does that make any sense?... nor does the book). I have never managed to finish it, the plot let me behind, and I found it so tiring to follow i think i've made up my own version of what happened in my head. The cover of this edition sucks, whoever is responsible for selecting such stock pile crap to shift millions should appear on judge judy V easton ellis. But then i guess he's probably already killed them off super sicko style.
