This is one of my all-time favorite books (a few of the other top spots also belong to Ellis books).
If you like his style of writing/storytelling, I would highly recommend any of his other books (especially Lunar Park and Glamorama).
It's different than the movie, but not so much as to be distracting. So if you liked the movie, READ THIS!
If you're squeemish about sexuality, drugs, etc. I wouldn't particularly say Ellis is the author for you. But if you don't mind that (or in fact, enjoy it) then this is great.
The characters are always interesting. The wiritng is immaculate. Easy-to-read and get caught up in. Bret Easton Ellis writes like a conversation.
