Caroline Weiss and Margaret Wallace met in 1998; the time and the place are lost to history. They were doomed from the start: they both suffered from a crippling lack of hardship. In her youth, Caroline dreamed of better days as the subject of an E! True Hollywood Story; sadly, these dreams were not to be realized. As a small child, Margaret wrote lengthy and involved stories about glamorous women staying at elegant hotels in Detroit while other kids her age were playing outside. They share an open disgust for the banality of the workaday world and the people who inhabit it. In 2003, Margaret was living a gingham dream in Amherst, Massachusetts, and Caroline was drowning away failures of adolescence in Los Angeles. In between Pilates classes and closed discourses on terrorism and genocide, Caroline began crafting a tale. Similarly, between gin & tonics and strands of pearls, Margaret's genius began to unravel from within. This novel is the result of that remarkable long distance collaboration. The authors respectfully request all potential stalkers apply through the William Morris Agency.

Product Reviews
Just because the book is titled "Stalking Bret Easton Ellis" does not give the authors carte blanche to blatantly plagiarize his style. "I'm hungover on the red-eye back to L.A...I buzz the stewardess and ask her to bring me some more red, she says they're out. Sighing, I lean back in the oversized leather seat, musing...how first class isn't what it used to be. I flip down my new Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses and stare out the window, anxious for some Xanax. I daydream about the last time I was in L.A. something, Christmas, maybe, a party with Zeigler..." This reads like a passage lifted from "Less Than Zero" only without the believability. When BEE writes about the ennui of youth, drugs, sex, and decadence it has an authenticity to it, like the writer has lived and seen it. This novel just reads like an 18 year old thought BEE wrote some really cool stuff and they're just trying to modernize it (i.e. replacing Way Farer sunglasses with D&G). The plagiarism of BEE's style is made more flagrant and egregious by the copious use of song lyrics and footnotes which expound on trivia about that song/artist. If you're interested in this novel, please do yourself a favor and skip this cheap imitation and read Less Than Zero instead.
