Aˌmerican ˈPsycho
a novel by the US writer Brett Easton Ellis, that was also made into a successful film. When the book was published, some people criticized the amount of violence, especially towards women, and the detailed way in which the violence is described. Other people said that the characters and the story are symbolic rather than real, and that the book is about modern society's greed and desire for too much food, money, power, and possessions.
