2) How is this novel a critique of Wall Street culture?
3) Analyze the title. What does it represent? What is an American Psycho?
4) While this novel was written in the 80's, many aspects of it can be linked to current problems in our world. What are those problems?
5) What role do the brand name references serve in the book? Why is there so many of them?
