Review: Better than American Psycho
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 01 7, 2014
This is a book that reminded me of American Psycho only without the excessive style references, food, ect and the overdone banality. The story is set in a world of finance which I'm completely unfamiliar with, but Wilson made it easy to understand and it didn't intrude on the storyline. The reader is introduced to the charismatic but power hungry Dane. I liked him immediately even while knowing he was a sociopath, I couldn't help myself. He was a good character, who wasn't completely bad; Dane possessed redeeming qualities, they were simply very deep down. Good or bad, I found myself rooting for him, as he attempts to make his way to the coveted position in his new job. There are obstacles, women and enemies pretending to be friends...all this and the artful way Wilson writes, created a five star book for me.
