Less Than Zero - Bret Easton Ellis

Loads of rich kids coked out of their minds drifting from party to party to a background of MTV and parents who don't care anymore.  The more shocking the events get and they get pretty bad the more the numbness and disconnect of the narrator becomes clear.  What makes this book work is the overwhelming emotional nothingness that it is built around.

8/10
