I like a novel where there isn’t any character development or a “full circle revelation” as you like to call it. It is refreshing to see someone whose life is far more depressing than one’s own. As a matter of fact, it is quite original…unless you’re used to reading things like Mein Kamph or just about anything written by James Mischner…lots of words in his novels. Anyhow, I liked Less than Zero.
[/quote]Like I said, I did grow to enjoy it, but at the time coming out of my teenage years - the story kind of reminded me too much of some of my friends who were heading into similar directions. Really, I had one close friend who was getting into the whole “rave” culture and ruining his life one weekend at a time; so knowing there were characters out there like him and the thought of them doing such horrible things with no cares whether it’s right or wrong, just bugged the crap out of me at the time. These days though, I highly respect the book and have good memories about it.
Next I’m planning on picking up The Rules of Attraction, I hear there’s a section from Clay in the book
