It was the hamster that finally got me. Was sitting outside at my school's union, between classes, and just couldn't believe what I was reading.
Gore
For me it was the scene wher Pat like grabs the vocal cords of one of the women after drilling a hole through the mouth and then rips them out of the mouth.At first I thought the book was really boring with all of the brands and clothes descriptions that took half of the chapters. After that the senseless killings and brutality got to me in the end.
I had the same experience, why all this stuff about brands and clothes? Then the juxtaposition totally disturbed me. Then I started working with people in the corporate world...
I thought it was like a coping mechanism to make him more adjusted. Sometimes when he doesn't describe brands or simply there aren't any designer products, he loses his mind very quickly.
It could also be about corporate behavior but I haven't had the chance to meet anyone that entrenched.
It is absolutely a coping mechanism for those types in reality. Scary accurate.
