yes it bothers and it is trash but it's made for. Even at my age (17) I love this book, like what ... Why? The writing is great, the story, though trashy, very beautiful. Easton Ellis, I only read "The Rules of Attraction" but I would be embarrassed to say which is best. This Easton Ellis allows much easier identification with the characters ("normal" students) while the two girls "Fuck me" are precisely offset from the world. But is it really to read, except by overly sensitive souls because I admit that it is hard.
