Query: trying too hard

Don't get me wrong, I am a big fan of Bret Easton Ellis. But this book was horrible! It had nowhere near the malaise of Less Than Zero nor the comedic satire of American Psycho. In Glamorama he tries to do for the 90s what these other two did for the 80s, and fails miserably. I think the Bret Easton Ellis decade is waaaay over. Sorry, wunderkind.
