<\/div>\n\u201cLord of the Flies\u201d is a highly controversial novel by William Golding. It was published in 1954. The book tells the story of a group of British schoolboys who end up stranded on an island after their plane crashes.

“The Catcher in the Rye” is a popular novel originally aimed at adults. Written by J.D. Salinger and published in 1951, the book has now become popular amongst young adults. The book follows the life of fictional protagonist Holden Caulfield, who is expelled from preparatory school. <\/p>\n
Sexual references, profanity and drug and alcohol use have made the novel one of the most controversial books of all time. The novel was famously linked to the murder of John Lennon due to his killer, Mark Chapman, idolising the fictional Holden Caulfield. The character has also said to have influenced other murderers. <\/p>\n
No film adaptation has been yet been made as a result of J.D. Salinger not wishing to have his novel made into a film. However, the book has been referenced in a wide variety of films and the popularity of Holden Caulfield has caused many characters in films to be loosely based on him. One of the most obvious references is \u201cChasing Holden\u201d, a 2001 film where the protagonist, who compares his life to Holden\u2019s, seeks out J.D. Salinger in an attempt to murder him. The book\u2019s huge cultural impact has also led to it being mentioned in a wide variety of television programs and even in other novels and in various songs. <\/p>\n
American Psycho<\/h1>\n
\n<\/div>\n“American Psycho” was written by Bret Eastern Ellis and was published in 1991. The story focuses on Patrick Bateman, who is a serial killer. Patrick is the brother of Sean Bateman, who was the protagonist in Ellis\u2019s earlier novel \u201cThe Rules of Attraction\u201d. Patrick is a serial killer and the book explores his life, which consists of torturing and brutally killing a string of women, as well as drug and alcohol abuse. <\/p>\n
The novel became highly controversial as a result of the sadistic acts carried out by the protagonist, which included cannibalism, sexual abuse and necrophilia. . The murders are described in graphic detail and the book is banned in some countries. In some countries, the book is only allowed to be sold to those aged 18 or over. The book was also criticised for the amount of violence inflicted on females. <\/p>\n
A film adaptation was released in 2000 and has since become a cult classic. Ellis\u2019s earlier novel, \u201cThe Rules of Attraction\u201d was also adapted to film in 2002. Patrick Bateman\u2019s role in \u201cThe Rules of Attraction\u201d was less pronounced and the story instead focused on his brother Sean, who although is not as sadistic as Patrick, struggles to show his emotions and is a very cynical character. \u201cThe Rules of Attraction\u201d film adaptation was more satirical than \u201cAmerican Psycho\u201d, though the film often contained very dark scenes, including the famous suicide scene. <\/p>\n
