He sees them as distant from himself, and he can't seem to understand them "I can't even guess myself what it must be to live the life of a human being", hence the title, No Longer Human.
I give American Psycho 5 stars. It deals with many adult themes not suitable for children under 14. The book tells the story of a rich investment banker on Wall Street (in New York) named Patrick Bateman. What makes this book so interesting is the way the narrator describes things. Judging from the way he acts the reader can infer that he isn't a reliable narrator. Patrick is a serial killer at night and hides his crimes from everyone.
