After reading American Psycho, I might have set my expectations a little high before reading Lunar Park. Lunar Park has its moments, but it is disjointed and unpolished. The dysfunctional family and Ellis' past that haunt him and converge are interesting themes, but the book feels corny most of the time. It's not a boring read because of Ellis' story-telling ability, but I won't be re-reading this anytime soon. That being said, the ending to this book is absolutely epic. My eyes were watering as I sat in my school's amphitheater on a Saturday afternoon finishing up Lunar Park. When a piece of writing can bring tears to your eyes, that's some pretty powerful stuff.
