3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, but did I actually LIKE it???, 4 Jan 2007
Brett Easton Ellis doing what he does best: social commentary with a plot which twists and turns, and rants and raves, and gets bloody and gory and disgusting in parts... it definitely made me dizzy but did I like it? Still not sure. This one is more intellectually challenging than his previous novels and I couldn't put it down while I was reading it, but I doubt I'd ever want to read it again.

2.0 out of 5 stars Half a great novel, 15 May 2006
Read the first 60 pages of Lunar Park and you might be tempted to re-jig your week so you can fit this novel in. You feel excited to be reading something in prime condition from one of the US's most inconsistent novelists. In those first few pages, he makes some fine jokes about opening lines (his own) and even manages to get one in of his own that sounds fittingly memorable and meaningless. It's frightening stuff (Any lingering thoughts that I might be reading Glamorama were painlessly extinguished) and climaxes with a frenetic, witty description house party (with Jay McInerney cameo) where the Ellis personas go into meltdown. He goes over his career in rollicking confessional mode, gleefully exposing himself with all the recklessness of a writer of fiction. Which he still is. For after these 60 pages, things start to get seriously weird for the narrator Brett. His life goes badly downhill. But so does the writing. All of a sudden the great prose, the crackling dialogue, the wit, it just goes. He starts writing in these stupid short, descriptive sentences that would be beneath King or Koontz. Things get very, very weird. It's interesting for a while (Ellis is stalked by a Patrick Bateman character) but it soon becomes obvious he hasn't a clue where he's going with this or what it means. It's like he sat down, knocked out the first half in an unstoppable flow and then burnt himself out with a half a manuscript left. I'll probably re-read that first part. I'll just know to stop after the party next time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lunatic Park more like, 22 Feb 2006
This review is from: Lunar Park (Hardcover)
Having read other Ellis books I agree with the other reviewers in that this should be read after the others as references are made to characters and scenes from previous publications.

You never quite know what is around the corner with this as Ellis takes you on a rollercoaster ride of a random life involving fame, fortune, family (both current and previous) and the usual drugs and drink as well has throwing in some supernatural and paranormal mix for good measure.

It is sometimes hard to decipher fact from fiction, what is real and what is simply substance induced paranoia - but dont let that you worry you too much.

Very much in keeping with the author's successful style - different, funny, scary, and arrogant - take with a pinch of salt and enjoy.
