Advantages: good reading material

Disadvantages: a bit dull at times

Just finished reading Glamorama, and I must say I had a hard time coming through it, but it was so worth it. His style of writing really attracts me, and the lifestyle he portrays in this book is so unbelievable that it might as well be true. I think the whole terrorist theme was a bit hard to deal with, it didn't seem very likely when first introduced. The brilliance is in how he develops the plot into a web rather than going the other way. The more you learn, the more complicated things seem. It's just perfect.

I got this book on its release and whilst that is now too long ago for me to remember clearly enough for an op I would like to add to your one with my 'thumbs up' to this book, his most entertaining thus far for me.

If you've got a decent IQ yet love to have a quick flick through Hello or OK! then this would be classed as a 'top quality trash read' whilst if you're a bloke, like me, that laughs at whatever has spread itself over the front covers of those two glam mags then you'll find Glamorama to be thrilling tale of the excesses of the celebrity high society that has been dipped in Ellis Easton's own distinct brand of gloss horror.

I just can't understand why this got so many unfavourable reviews. Maybe the critics wanted American Psycho 2 and got something totally different.
