IMPERIOUS BOOK REVIEWS




You readers know that we 

LOVE! 

LOVE!!

LOVE!!!

Bret Easton Ellis.  We love BEE.   BEE is our BB!!!!

American Psycho is one of our all-time favorite reads.

One of the best opening lines of a novel EVER!!!:

"ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHO ENTER HERE is scrawled in blood red lettering on the side of the Chemical Bank......" 

The New York Times gave Ellis a less than stellar review of his latest tome, Imperial Bedrooms.

We don't pay any attention to reviewers.  And movie critics.  Ick.  Don't get us started....

If we want to see something or read it-- we will!  We aren't influenced by others opinions.  That is living vicariously and WHO WANTS TO DO THAT!!

Ironically Patrick Bateman would go to a restaurant solely on the review of The New York Times.....

Pay them no mind Bret.

You are a writing GENIUS.

And you've got FUCKING Less Than Zero money to prove it!!

Disses The New York Times:     ".....“Imperial Bedrooms” is without shock value. It’s a work of limited imagination that all too deftly simulates the effects of having no imagination at all."

Yet when a novel is shocking.... groups want to boycott the written work.  American Psycho caused such outrage......

Huh?  What?  Who? ** do your best Karen Walker*** Janet Maslin!!  And, what novels have you written that have been seminal,  cultural touchstones, sweetie?  We cannot recall any of your titles off the top of our heads.  Oh that's because you have NONE.  Can we get a critic with some books under his belt to review??


We can't wait to get our hands on a copy and dive right in!!!!
