Story
A vicious 15-year-old droog is the central character of this 1963 classic, a frightening fable about good and evil, and the meaning of human freedom. In Anthony Burgess' nightmare vision of the future, where the criminals take over after dark, the story is told by the central character, Alex, who talks in a brutal invented slang that brilliantly renders his and his friends' social pathology.

This unforgettable saga of crime and corruption, passion and loyalty continues to stand the test of time, as the definitive novel of the Mafia underworld. A #1 New York Times bestseller in 1969, Mario Puzo's epic was turned into the incomparable film of the same name, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture. It is the original classic that has been often imitated, but never matched.

In Las Vegas to cover a motorcycle race, Raoul Duke (Thompson) and his attorney Dr. Gonzo (inspired by a friend of Thompson) are quickly diverted to search for the American dream. Their quest is fueled by nearly every drug imaginable and quickly becomes a surreal experience that blurs the line between reality and fantasy. But there is more to this hilarious tale than reckless behavior, for underneath the hallucinogenic facade is a stinging criticism of American greed and consumerism.

It was to be the war to end all wars, and it began at 11:15 on the morning of June 28, 1914, in an outpost of the Austro-Hungarian Empire called Sarajevo. It would officially end nearly five years later. Unofficially, however, it has never ended: Many of the horrors we live with today are rooted in the First World War. The Great War left millions of civilians and soldiers maimed or dead. It also saw the creation of new technologies of destruction: tanks, planes, and submarines; machine guns and field artillery; poison gas and chemical warfare.

Publisher's Summary
In American Psycho, Bret Easton Ellis imaginatively explores the incomprehensible depths of madness and captures the insanity of violence in our time or any other. Patrick Bateman moves among the young and trendy in 1980s Manhattan. Young, handsome, and well educated, Bateman earns his fortune on Wall Street by day while spending his nights in ways we cannot begin to fathom. Expressing his true self through torture and murder, Bateman prefigures an apocalyptic horror that no society could bear to confront.
As an added bonus, when you purchase our Audible Modern Vanguard production of Bret Easton Ellis' book, you'll also get an exclusive Jim Atlas interview that begins when the audiobook ends.

it was alright
American Psycho was always a book I've been interested in but never took the time to read or listen to. While I did really like the ambiguity, I wasn't a fan of the ending.

I laughed way to much listening to this book
Lots of messed up parts in the book few animals abuse parts so be ready for those, wasn't the biggest fan of the story. Their are a few chapters where Patrick is just talking about albums for 10-18 minutes that just didn't do it for me.
With all that being said when Patrick isn't killing animals or call girls the book is extremely funny I was laughing out loud many times though the book which I wasn't expecting and the performance was top notch I also felt was a little long but was a good read overall.
Now I have to go, I have to return some videotapes.

Did not like the book at first. Now I can’t stop thinking about it.
This book was a roller coaster. When I first started reading (ahem, listening) to the book, I disliked it greatly. I felt it was so negative, with such unlikable characters that I thought to just turn off the book completely. Yet, I decided I would listen more. And for some reason I kept listening. It seemed that the more the book went on, the better it got. Patrick Bateman grew on me more and more, to the point where In the end... I sympathized with the charismatic near charming American Psycho. Delving way into the brain of Patrick Bateman was super interesting. Learning how the main character saw the world. How he felt, and why was great. Personally some of the best parts were the chapters where they just casually mention some of the craziest stuff ever. To the point where Patrick’s insanity becomes near comedic. It has a clear message which I wouldn’t want to spoil/ don’t know how to explain. Some of the writing flaws can be seen as a contributor to the message however, even if some are blatantly obvious. Such as pace,
over-description of certain aspects, sometimes providing vague detail to the setting. Yet you can see why they were made this way to enter the perspective of the main character. There isn’t exactly a linear plot to the story. It’s more so about Patrick Bateman screwing around in his day to day life, with more of a recurring plot line that shows up every once in a while that I didn’t feel too much importance to. I thought this would turn me off, but didn’t let it be a deal breaker. So the more I listened, the more I got used to the various locations and entertaining conversations/ observations. I thought it was just useless banter at first, and it even might have been, but the voice actor was AMAZING. It might sound the least important since I am putting it last, but if it weren’t for the phenomenal voice actor of the story, I don’t think I would have wanted to finish the book. He was so great, I think he has ruined all other voice actors for other audiobooks. He does the voices so well, even though they are all done by him, they all feel like different and unique characters that totally fit their personality style. I could clearly imagine a person completely based off of their voice, and recognized their different forms of speech and pronunciation as they spoke. Of course I still imagined Patrick Bateman looking like Christian bale from the movie version (which I specifically didn’t watch beforehand just to enjoy the book more). Bravo Pablo schreiber (voice actor), couldn’t have finished this book without you. Truly made it 110% better than it could have been. Can’t even listen to another audiobook without thinking about this one. In total, good entertainment, great voice actor, great message, thought provoking, with a so-so story that isn’t really the focus of the book anyways. In total a 4/5

Impressive... Very nice. Now let's see Paul Owen's autobiographical account.
I got this book after loving the film starring Christian Bale, and it did not disappoint. Not for the faint of heart.

Amazing book.
Amazing book. Anyone who complains about the minute detail of characters clothing and repetitive pointless conversations is entirely missing the point of American Psycho. There is one part towards the end that is maddening, listening to Bateman on the phone with his buddies trying to figure out dinner reservations over and over. I actually started to lose my mind at this part and wanted to hurl my phone at the wall. There are some very graphic torture scenes so heads up on that. It's very interesting to watch Bateman lose his grip on reality and I found this very relatable in some ways. After listening to this audio book I think I may actually be a psychopath lol. Highly recommend this book for anyone that enjoyed the movie. Couldn't stop picturing Christian Bale the whole time.
