- I found this to be like a 12A version of a Brett Easton Ellis book. Reminded me a lot of Less Than Zero, but less cynical. A bit too disjointed for my liking, it's basically a bunch of short stories mixed in with random facts about LA, with the author jumping from storyline to storyline without any form of proper narrative. Some of the stories/characters I loved, some of them I didn't. I think it would work a lot better if he had just made a collection of short stories in a more conventional format. |

'I Am Legend' by Richard Matheson
- Much better than the rubbish Will Smith movie, but could do with being a lot longer. Bit disappointed by the ending aswell.
