I find it really hard to believe that "American Psycho" is actually on the banned books lists. It should have never found its way into a high school library under any circumstances.
I've read "American Psycho" several times and I own the movie as well - it's one of my favorites. However, I do not feel that this book should be in the hands of anyone under the age of 18 as it is probably the most explicitly violent pieces of literature ever written - and I mean that.
Why was this book banned from a high school? How did it get in there? "American Psycho" has no place among children particularly because, I feel, it would be one of those materials that could easily inspire similar sadistic behavior not to mention the psychologically damaging aspects that it could inflict upon a minor.
(But... I recommend everyone who hasn't read it pick it up, or at least see the movie... although the movie is really really really watered down)
