Summary: Amazing
Review: After finishing this books, thousands of unanswered and pestering questions sprung up in my mind. I can think of no better complement for a literary work.

Summary: can you give a book negative stars?
Review: If I only had the energy to find every person even remotely interested in this book, I would beg and plead with them to spare themselves the misery that I just experienced in reading this. It had to be the worst book I have ever read. I think BEE should find some way to pay back all those readers for the hours in their lives they've lost because this painfully annoying "novel"

Summary: give me some more
Review: i don't know who to believe. has he gone too far? i can't judge and everyone else is dead, or possibly alive but i can't be bothered... should i worry about the french tv crew? have you seen my photo on 'youth quake'. nothing is unusual. love from the wannabe hampstead which wasn't really captured,you know... i spoke to... whoever about you and they said nothing you say can be believed...but i don't know.. bret easton ellis, we love you, never change!!!!

Summary: i'm a glutton for punishment
Review: Glamorama: hated it. try American Psycho instead - his only decent effort to date. its far from great, mind you, but i loved it anyway. and, unfortunately, because of it i'll continue to read every single piece of trash this guy ever puts out.

Summary: this book is boring
Review: so far Bret Easton Ellis has just been able to write ONE single good book 'American Psycho'

Summary: What was the point?
Review: Ok i just got done reading this book and screamed Why did i just waste like 8 hours of my life reading it? This is the most worthless piece of literature i have ever read. From the beginning sequence about "specks" to the ultraviolent ending this is not a book i would recommend be even published again. what a waste of money and time. At least we know now who the real "american psycho" is.

Summary: Ingriguing but at times confusing
Review: Given the title, it started off as expected -- celebrity, fame, drugs -- and then suddenly terrorists are on the scene? I found myself confused. Maybe not so much confused as disappointed, as spy novels aren't my bag. Perhaps it's all metaphor, I thought. And what's with the film crews lurking in the background? Only twice did I read more than 20 pages at a sitting -- once at an airport and the last time was just to finish the darn thing. Which is also unfortunate, as I bought the book in Mexico and was looking forward to an intriguing read. It was a bit intriguing at times, sure. Ellis has a massive 6-plus-page sexual interlude about two-thirds of the way through, and then there's the celebrity stuff and some "cool" torture scenes. But mostly I found myself wondering: What's with this celebrity terrorist thing? Whatever.

Summary: Ellis is a typical american writter
Review: Glamorama has an intensity most of our recent writters don t have, neither here or even in Europe. Glamorama, or the painting of a declining western society, is a highy recommendable book. One should not be influenced by the "American Psycho"( the scandal went out of proportion as usual in america ) reviews....

Rating:
Summary: Satisfactory but not surprising
Review: Ellis at its best, but we were wxpecting something more, an evolution in the prose and the plot if not the in subject. In glamourama the fan doesen't gets anything more than what he expects, which, when talking about Ellis, may not be enough.

Summary: This is the worst book I've ever read!
Review: Now that I've finished this book, the only thing left to do is burn it, so no one else wastes a minute of their time reading it. This book is graphically violent and filled with deranged male fantasy. Don't bother.
