You definitely wouldn’t be a fan of American Psycho.
That being said, despite the gore it is a brilliantly written satire. And if you “get it”…the book is hilarious.
I have DNF’d a lot of books after reading the first line. Either it grabs me at that moment or it doesn’t.
But that’s not to say the books were bad, it’s just my mood at the time. I’ve picked up the same books at other times and the first line does grab me, and sometimes I ended up loving the book.
