“"Disappear Here" .. I found myself so entranced in this book, wanting to know what was going to happen next. Stop reading this and get the book!”
“A fantastic novel with a very different narrative voice. I enjoyed this book immensely. You must see past the setting and characters' downfalls and just accept it for what it was when it came out - unique, innovative, and worth reading.”
“Less Than Zero is a book about a boy named Clay who lives in Los Angeles. The book is about what Clay’s life is like at home. Clay comes from a rich family and has many rich friends. He spends most of his time going to parties and doing drugs. He comes home from college to enjoy his holiday. Instead, his holiday turns into a drama-filled vacation. The book shows us what happens to a rich boy who lives in the interesting city of Los Angeles and what some are of the conflicts and struggles that teens go through.”
“I liked it better than American Psycho and The Informers. Now THOSE are violent... This one just flowed easier. No music chapters or page long violence scenes.”
“I haven't read Ellis in a while. I read American Psycho when I was around 15 (6-7 years ago) then ...The Informers last year. This book is written very differently. I find it easier than his newer books. He's less wordy; which ironically says a lot more. I'm ...enjoying (can you use this word while reading any of Ellis' work?) it, although it hits close to home. I'm not a coke head or promiscuous, but I feel the apathy and apartness that Clay demonstrates. He feels something is wrong, but is swept back up into apathy and drug-induced comas that we call life. People these days, in California at least, are so focused on themselves. I especially liked how Clay would stop at stoplights, stare at people to see if he could get a glance (connection), then put his sunglasses back on since no one ever glanced back. He's desperate for connection; real life. It's sad... Cell phones, tanning salons, and coke... is that what American culture is reduced to?-katie-”
