masterpiece - By: yakattack!, 10 Sep 2008 
im a massive fan of ellis so i may be biased, but i believe this to be his greatest novel to date, i love the idea of the fictional autobiography which plays on ideas of what the media may believe his character to be. Then half way through the book it transforms into a kind of stephen king style horror....i loved every minute of this bizarre story, especially when patrick bateman appears to have become real....
Egotistical drivel - By: Mr. Phillip J. Darley, 05 Sep 2008 
After reading American Psycho & been very impressed I was recommended this by a friend. Biggest reading disappointment so far.
I just couldn't get to grips with the narrative, a strange mix of 3rd person 1st person which just didn't work for me. Seemed very self-indulgent & the paranormal angle made the whole thing totally unbelievable (that is unless your a Derrick Accora fan). Sorry Bret I just didn't buy the whole residual energies taking over a kids toy...
funny scary brilliant - By: L. Dorward, 19 May 2008 
lunar park beginsin what appears to be an autobiography, which then changes to become a homage to the great Stephen King. At some points you are laughing out loud, others you are scared, its only halfway through when you realise that it isin fact fiction & not an autobiography!
I particuarly liked his evil furby type character. Shame about the ending as the rest is fantastic
YBRET - By: Hawkeye, 18 Oct 2007 Excessive, poignant, hilarious & quite unsettling by turns; Lunar Park is a brilliant read. The novel begins as a self-confessional autobiography of Bret Easton Ellis writtenin such a way that it's difficult to know which details are fictional & which are real, with Easton Ellis constantly referencing real events & real people (often involvedin very believable scenarios). The candidness of this part of the novel makes for extremely funny reading (particularly when Keanu Reeves comes into the story).
This setting later morphs into a fantastical horror story. The writer decides to make a go of family life but finds himself haunted by demons from his past - all rootedin his relationship to his now deceased father. The supernatural elements are quite disturbing but somehow mix surprisingly well with an emotional & very moving family drama. Easton Ellis's narrator, for all his faults, is a very likeable narrator.
Inside the warped mind of Ellis... - By: Mala, 01 Aug 2007 Another great booked by Ellis, I was hooked yet again. It makes references to characters from American Psycho, so you should probably read that book first. Also, as with most of his books, it leaves you feeling like you could've done with just a tad more detail at the end... But overall amazing descriptions & captivating language - a definite read for this year.
