This book is very Bret Easton Ellis and he is well known for doing very conventional, first person narrative and then, something suddenly happens, but this time, Easton Ellis has dragged it a bit too far, nothing much happens and when it does nobody really cares. I gave up on this book and it has put me off reading any further books written by Ellis from now on.

Giselle meets Die Hard...
My copy of Glamorama didn't really have a blurb so I wasn't really prepared for the dramatic shift in gears throughout the book. Glamorama is pretty much a satire on our obsession with trend and fashion and celebrity. Don't be fooled though into thinking that this is simply an 'important' or 'meaningful book'; it is also laced with a knockout narrative, interesting characters and page-turning delivery. I rate this 3.5-4 stars and personally wouldn't recommend it to any of my friends! I think if you haven't read any Bret Easton Ellis (like most of my mates) then Glamorama could put you off... lol- It's like judging all of Quentin Tarantino, by his screenplay work in 'From Dusk til Dawn' (a top book or film made better with the context of other work...)
If your familiar with Ellis' writing and get into his style- this is a must read... For others- maybe hit up Less then zero or The Informers first.
