If I could identify with the characters at all I would be insulted. Which makes me think that people who like this film have no relation to the plot or characters at all.

I got it, it didn't follow the book. Does that surprise you at all? No it shouldn't. Except the movies as their own entity because you know what there are redeeming qualities to the films like great acting. You still have the book to read and its still great but movies are different from books. They always have been. And another thing, Less then Zero? Do you just hate life?

I just saw the Informers tonight, and I thought it was well done, for a movie that seemingly had a lot of problems. It wasn't American Psycho or Less Than Zero, but it held it's own, and was rarely "boring". I understand it's just your opinion, but c'mon man, Less Than Zero does not belong on this list.
