Boring. Nothing happens. And I'm becoming tired of the murder of random women as a plot device (I say this as I read American Psycho concurrently) in all these novels by men when nothing actually comes of it. It's just murder without consequence, and, even though it only really takes up a paragraph of nondescription here except for Bloch's choking of his victim who I don't believe is ever named, it feels gratuitous in a novel in which absolutely nothing happens except for some word games.
