About this title: A man in what is recognizably New York is drawn into a shadowy looking-glass of that society and then finds himself trapped on the other side, in a much darker place where fame and terrorism, and family and politics, are inextricably linked and sometimes indistinguishable.

"Oh my god, somebody help me. I'm a prisoner in a book that's a cross between "Party Monster", "Project Runway" and every annoying E! Network program that pretends it's not gay but is so gay even Logo won't touch it. Smarmy and irritating to the point where the satire has to be justified in your mind just to get through this mind rot. I've read comic books with more culture than this trash! Spamorama."
"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."
"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."
