5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious, dark gothic masterpiece, 24 Mar 2009
By Dave Gilmour's cat (on Dave Gilmour's boat) - See all my reviews
This is an absolutely stunning novel: a laugh-out-loud social satire mixed with a surreal and genuinely scary horror story. Its ambiguity is entirely intentional. As with the Glamorama reviews, I'm amazed how many readers here have completely missed the point. When Ellis creates 'shallow' characters they are MEANT to be shallow. When he creates bizarre story shifts that defy logic, they are MEANT to do this. These are not failings of the author, but examples of his incredible command of language, his huge imagination, his devastatingly effective sense of humour, his bottomless capacity for parodying the worlds he scrutinises. Lunar Park was never meant to be a 'straight' novel with a standard plotline, as should be obvious from page 1. Go along with its playful mischief, its inspired gothic surrealism and its extremely dark humour and you will be in for a real treat. This is an all-time classic: one of the best 20 novels ever written. I'm off to read it again now.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Don't call it a come back.....", 23 Oct 2006
By NICO "nico" (London, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
  
This review is from: Lunar Park (Amazon Exclusive Boxed Edition) (Hardcover)
Having read through the first few pages of this novel, I had to flick ahead to check if the first chapter was in fact an extended introduction. That's when the brilliance of this novel dawned on me. The adoption of the quasi-autobiographical style to this work was a stroke of genius demonstrating new depths to Easton Ellis' capabilities.

I was enthralled by this book from start to finish, and whilst nothing Easton Ellis has produced to date could ever stand up to his modern-day classic American Psycho, this would be the strongest contender from his catalogue. Witty; full of suspense; and engaging, this is a well written work of fiction.

With Lunar Park, Easton Ellis is completely redeemed after the nonsense that was Glamorama. Definitely a 2006 must have!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, 11 Sep 2005
By The Osprey (Exeter, Devon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lunar Park (Hardcover)
I couldn't wait until October to get my hands on this so got it from the US.

I always thought BEE couldn't top American Pyscho. When the short stories collection 'The Informers' came out I thought I was right.

Then Glamorama turned up and I had to admit I was wrong.

Then Lunar Park arrived and I was blown away. This is a new direction for BEE. His writing has matured and he is tackling his own demons.

This is a very inventive novel that everyone should read, even if you were appalled by AP.
