Book Reviews of The Demon
Book Review: ????
Summary: 3 Stars
Nevermind the 3 stars I've given this book. My review is conditional. First off let me say I'm completely confused by the effect this book was supposed to produce. Let me explain, this book best compares to American Psycho. There are a lot of similarities between the two main characters i.e young, successful, well educated etc etc. However, in American Psycho I was shocked and sometimes disgusted by what Patrick Bateman (the protagonist of Amercan Psycho) would do to his victims... I KNEW Patrick was disturbed. In The Demon, I wasn't so sure. To be completely honest, torwards the end of the book I was hoping he WOULD do certain things which are... less than moral. Now my confusion stems from whether or not Hubert Selby Jr. intended for his readers to feel this way, to feel disgusted w/ perfection and idealism, to feel like rolling in the mud. Like I said, I'm not sure. If this was the authors intention, 5 stars! If not...
