“The Rules of Attraction” offers a dark and satirical take on the upper-middle-class college student culture. Set in the fictional college town of Camden, New Hampshire, the novel is narrated in first-person by the sexually students, in particular, revolving around three: Paul, Sean, and Lauren. Bret Easton Ellis does a powerful job in illustrating a slice of society that is selfish, nihilistic, and narcissistic. His ability to write without a ‘period’ in a stream of consciousness manner is unparalleled. This is the first book of his I ever read, but if you’ve taken a peek at his other books, then this isn’t something you want to miss
