Imperial Bedrooms - Bret Easton Ellis

All the characters from Less Than Zero are back again but now its thirty years later.  In the intervening years no one has changed all that much, rather everybody has just got older.  This is written the dead-pan minimalist style that you would expect but the big difference is that there is much more story this time.  Less Than Zero was in effect a series of events to create an atmosphere where as this adds a real page turning story line.  Sometimes there were scenes that felt a little bit forced and reminded me of Inherent Vice  which isn't really a good thing and there are a couple of parts that seem to have no purpose other than to be shocking and maintain the authors american psycho reputation.  On the whole though I enjoyed this book.
