Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Two years after his debut best seller, Less Than Zero ( LJ 6/1/85) , Ellis returns with a very different novel. Though still about college students (Ellis graduated only last year), this story is told through numerous student diaries, illustrating the "accidents" that often form the basis of modern relationships. Here, misunderstandings, differing perceptions, and often just bad hearing cause pairings to begin or end, proving Ellis's implied thesis that there are no "rules." Ellis has his pretensions (the book starts and finishes in the middle of a sentence, and one diary entry is in easy French), but he successfully fleshes out his characters and creates involving situations. This should be a hit like the last, especially with college students. For public and academic collections. Susan Avallone, "Library Journal"

Kurzbeschreibung
This novel offers a satirical yet bleak vision of the modern world - a world devoted to conspicuous consumption and consumer-as-king culture - and highlights the feelings of futility and superficiality that mark an entire generation.

"The Rules Of Attraction", published in 1987, is Bret Easton Ellis' second novel after his successful debut "Less Than Zero" and continues in the same vein.
The action centers around the lives of Lauren, Paul and Sean, three students at a fictious affluent liberal arts college in New Hampshire.
You get a glimpse into the twisted world of a generation without perspective, without values, without words and without any sense of belonging. Although the characters seem to have everything - money, beauty, good upbringing - they are not satiesfied with their lives. They are yearning for cheap distraction and fast thrills. World-weary, they try to compensate their bored, desperate lives with the help of drugs, sex, money and music.
They are representatives of a lot of the ills in our modern day culture; young adults with emotional conflicts and destructive anxieties. It may seem that no one of the characters is developed in any meaningful way, but this lack of substance, of personalisation just supports the message of the novel. With an ironic distance, "The Rules Of Attraction" is a critique on mass culture, on a society morally bankrupt, and on adolescents caught in a world of glittering surface.
An excellent book! Absolutetly recommendable! It even may hold a mirror up to some people!

Another great Ellis novel. I gave it 4 stars because nothing other than "American Psycho" can get 5 stars. The book conjured up situations I lived through in college, it was like stepping back in time, although I only graduated 4 years ago. "Attraction" was funny, hip, cool and well written. Ellis' writing is so unique and his characters (Paul, Sean (Patrick's bro) and Lauren - who we see in "Glamorama") so real, I knew of of each in my college. Excellent book!!! I suggenst it to anyone who ever lived the best years of their life - COLLEGE!!!!!

I am now a college junior and I read this book for the first time my senior year of high school. BEE basically wrote an outline of what to expect during my collegiate experience, more than a decade later. Let me tell you, this is suprisingly one of the best books of our time. Also a very quick and fun read with style that is on par with kosinski (not the unabomber, the author) and way ahead any other author of recent times.

Reading some of the other recensions shows me that this book HAS to be a masterpiece - why else would it be rated from 1-5 stars ? Lesen Sie weiter...

A Book Full of Dirty Purity
This is one of the most gorgeous books I have ever read. Ellis is a smart enough writer not to make it gorgeous in the conventional sense, one where swelling sentences and gushing... Lesen Sie weiter...

His Worst But still a good read
Well, that's it really. Student love stories, too close to what you will know if you ever lived in a student home to be exciting. Lesen Sie weiter...

A Fun Book, Not a Great One
Fans of Ellis will enjoy this novel. It's quick-paced, enticing, funny and depressing. It's neither as good as American Psycho, nor as tedious as Glamorama; neither as adolescent... Lesen Sie weiter...

Realistic View. Boring Subject Matter.
The characters are homogenized. The subject matter is right on the mark in reference to reality... but who can take interest in these lost degenerates? Lesen Sie weiter...

A true glimpse at college life.
Ellis usually writes about horrific things from out of nowhere to facilitate his reputation as a splattercore writer charading as one of the contemporary greats. Lesen Sie weiter...

Well..
Not bad. I laughed at times, but I wasn't quite shocked. Then I realised that I missed the point, because if this book doesn't shock you, then it'll not leave the right impression... Lesen Sie weiter...
