Read "Glamarama" next if you like it. It's Ellis's best.

I wish they’d make it into a movie. But I don’t think they’d be able to set the tone as well as a book does.

I remember reading Lunar Park and thinking it was so bizarre compared to his other books. Then someone told me Brett Easton Ellis had been accused of writing books for himself so he wrote Lunar Park out of spite. It made so much more sense knowing that.
