4.0 out of 5 stars Useful Guide to reading "American Psycho", 21 Jan 2005

By A Customer

This guide is well structured and is written in a clear, easy to understand way. Julian Murphet, a junior research fellow at St. John's College, University of Oxford, raises a number of interesting points about the novel and justifies them well.

Murphet starts with a short biography of Ellis and then proceeds with a study of the novel itself. I did find this book useful in studying the novel and I commend Murphet for his work on this splendid book. However I would have prefered a more detailed analysis of the text. There is certainly scope for looking in more detail at points that were explored and also for exploring the use of language in the novel as well as ideas and issues not covered at all by this book (though it does cover all of the main themes and ideas).

This is more than likely an issue with the publisher rather than the author. Continuum Contempories series could, on the basis of this book, benefit from more detail in a slightly bigger, slightly more expensive book.

All the same a very worthy look at "American Psycho".
