Incorrect Names
I actually changed the names of two of Bateman's friends/associates last night to the CORRECT names of Timothy Bryce and Greg McDermott. Someone who only watched the movie has since changed it back.

It looks like that could so with clarification. Same as Paul Owen, who is a Paul Allen in the movie. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.218.140.64 (talk) 08:12, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

What's the point of the "Characters" section?
Header says it all -- it's not a cast list like in an entry for a film: it's a novel. Is this typical for novels? Gonna remove it unless someone makes a fine argument for its inclusion. Tactical Fiend (talk) 17:29, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
 * The 'Writing about fiction#Real-world perspective' section of the Wikipedia style manual gives 'Description of fictional characters ...' as a main dot point, one of five. There are Characters or Main characters or Main characters and storylines-type sections for novels and there are also some free-standing articles for novels on the subject, in no order here, a few I’ve found: List of Moby-Dick characters; The English Patient; List of Catch-22 characters; After Many a Summer; The Power and the Glory; The Naked and the Dead; Point Counter Point; and A Clockwork Orange (novel). It's one of the ways many readers I think, and I, often approach a novel along with plot, setting, and themes for instance: That's the point of the character sections and articles for me.


 * As to the Unidentified character sub-section in the article, it was a little unusual maybe but it presents a valid, solid piece of information about a character related to the main character in the novel. The information doesn't yet fit in either the Major or Minor character sub-sections. The information means that the author found inspiration for a character in a real-life person and now the author has chosen to reveal the source of, and reasons for, his inspiration. I favor restoration of the Unidentified character sub-section in some form to the article. Cheers. Swliv (talk) 17:00, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
