I finally finished it. Hurrah
I had to review a book right in the middle of reading this one so I got distracted but Ive done my work and now finished The Secret History. What a fab book. Im now reading Lunar Park, and with that I think my brat pack boredom has sunk in. Give me gay pulp please. But not if I have to review it.

I looove looooooove the Secret History.

Are you not enjoying Lunar park? A couple of people I know started reading it & then stopped not far in because they thought it was too arrogant. Persist with it though, it gets much better. I persuaded these people to keep reading it & they all ended up really enjoying it.

I plan to read it again some day, my shitting ex boyfriend lost my copy though

I looooooooooooved Secret History. So much so that a friend gave me an unedited proof of The Little Friend. Which alas is vastly inferior.

i agree about the little friend. i actually found it kind of boring, but i love the secret history. i just recently re-read it for at least the 6th time.

you don't like lunar park? it's a weird book, and not like his others at all. i love it though. but then i'm basically a b.e.e groupie, so i may be a little biased.

The little friend is seriously my favourite book ever, but I can see why lots of people prefer the secret history over it, I guess it can be a little dull at times, but I'm so in love with the characters & scenery in the Little friend

gosh I love the secret history! Amazingly well written book. And yeah, I diskled the little friend too, not way as good as the previous..

One day I will find someone who likes the little friend as much as me..

i have been reading the little friend for about a year

it's not the book's fault, i just haven't been into reading

i adored the secret history though

one of my friends loves it. i'm pretty sure she rates it higher than the secret history. you're not totally on your own

i read the little friend a second time, and liked it a lot more than i did at first. i still prefer the secret history though.

i once got 'the little friend' confused with 'the secret history' and almost bought it. thankfully a friend informed me of my error, told me how crappy 'the little friend' was as we waited in the queue, and we left the vicinity immediately.
i look forward to reading 'the secret history' when i find it.

as for bret easton ellis, he pretty much sucks. so don't feel like it's your fault that you don't like his books.

no i never said i didnt like lunar park./ but i am now officially over-saturated with transgressive fiction for the moment.

i think lunar park is his best book actually. i mean less thanh zero was my personal favourite, but i think Lunar Park is his most 'complete' work...ahem.

i liked it
my mum is reading it at the moment, she said she finds it boring


& i've never read the secret history, i shall try to get hold of it

Once I started reading The Secret History I couldn't put it down, I read it in a few days. I have been reading The Little Friend for about 2 months, it hasn't gripped me in the same way the former did.

yeah, thats precisely how I felt.

I think it might be because I read the Little friend first..?
