I Have To Return Some Video Tapes; An American Psycho Book Review

He lives in the American Gardens Building on W. 81st Street on the 11th floor. His name is Patrick Bateman. He's 27 years old. He believes in taking care of himself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if his face is a little puffy he'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. He can do 1000 now. After he removes the ice pack he uses a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower he uses a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then he applies an herb-mint facial mask which he leave on for 10 minutes while he prepares the rest of his routine. He always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.



American Psycho is an epic American tale of Reaganism, the 1980's, and Yuppies. So epic, in fact, Patrick Bateman is kind of like Paul Bunyan. But anyway, "I can only get these sheets in Santa Fe. Are you trying to say "Bleach-ee?"

I find American Psycho to be a scathing satire of the self-interested world of Wall Street, and "I don't think we should see each other anymore." Critics, "just cool it with the pretentious remarks". Even though it may be difficult to read through all those violent scenes, "I can get you a lime" and it's worth it in the end.
