This complilation has some good and some bad stories but unfortunately I can't really recommend this book and myabe it's because I am not a huge fan of short story complations. There are some characters that appear througout and some continuity but most of these stories are the same versions of each other in one form or another. Ellis' has that ability to replicate that sunshine maliase of Los Angeles known only to its inhabitants and this makes it interesting for So Cal readers like myself as is also the case with Less Than Zero. Ellis needs more than a few pages to set up his characters and that is part of the problem of Informers.
Bottom Line: fans of Ellis should check it out, curious readers should start at the beginnin with Less Than Zero. Reading Ellis' books in order is actually really important for two reasons. First, Less Than Zero is the easiest read of them all and it introduces you to his style in a gradual manner. Second, Ellis uses the amusing literary trick of characters popping up here and there in other novels and you will recognize the most of these by reading his books in chronilogical order.

The Informers Bret Easton Ellis 9780330339186 Books Reviews

Not a "classic," but well written, entertaining, and captivating. I would recommend it to any of Ellis's fans or fans of short stories.
I get so depressed reading BEE's books, but i always come back for more. There is a little bit of each character in all of us.
I kind of had more expectations for this book after seeing the movie, which was a flop. As you know the book is almost always better than the movie. It's well written and definitely interesting, but the story line is, well, absent, I think it's just different groups of people that happen to have linked lives. I wouldn't read it a second time.
This book's ensemble of stories are interesting and parts of it may be a little disturbing. Of course, I enjoy that about the book, but some of you may find it uncomfortable.

Bret Easton Ellis books have a tendency to make a reader feel like a piece of crap, so be sure to detach yourself from the characters on this one.
Ellis is amazing as usual.
which captured only the most superficial moral of what Ellis was trying to convey. There are a lot of tiny flashbacks which would have been difficult to film. However, the older roles should not have been expanded in the film because Ellis carefully tears them down or makes them smaller here. It's the details of the rich young druggies which add up to uncompromisingly empty and pointless lives in a daring truthful way.
Quick read. Took me a while to tell the difference between the characters because the voice wasn't too distinct, but after about thirty pages it got easier to follow.

The bits of story going on throughout is very interesting.

One of the last little "Stories" in this book blew my mind. Very Bret Easton Ellis. Which I was glad about.
I'd recommend this book for someone who is a fan of Ellis, and or dark '80s humor.
