really liked it

Reading White felt like jumping into a cold lake and your whole being at once is wide awake, this is a certifiably FRESH new read. My meter for a really good book is when you stop page counting and get lost in the pages, I got completely lost in White, especially towards the end when Ellis just completely shredded the lefts pretty little picture of their faux tolerance. Plus it clarifies American Psycho’s protagonist Patrick Bateman and finally after thinking about the book since I’ve read it about 3 years ago I finally understand what actually happened, thanks for the Clarification, I needed it.

“This was why it seemed to many of us in that summer that the left was morphing into something it never had been in my lifetime: a morally superior, intolerant and authoritarian party that was out of touch and lacked any coherent ideology beyond its blanket refusal to credit an election in which someone they didn’t approve of had, at least legally, technically, won the White House. The left had become a rage machine, burning itself up: a melting blue bubble dissolving in on itself.�
