The first use of a first-person pronoun by the POV character happens 8 pages in and by this point the reader is drowning in various namedrops of fashion houses, companies, and other characters.

It's my favorite kind of book that assaults you with thematic elements immediately and without pause. Bateman directing the reader with camera terms (the all-seeing gaze of the camera/panopticon) / the vapidity and hostility of the American upper class written in almost absurdist dialogue / the fixation on name brands and conspicuous consumption / the detachment of Bateman to everything around him.
