1. Patrick Batemen is not a serial killer. It's all in his head. He's Walter Mitty. He has fantasies about serial killing because the life he's been pushed into is so repetitive and boring he needs the fantasy release.
2. This is why the same things keep happening.
3. The brands thing is a satire of a culture that can identify every detail about consumer goods but can't remember anything about actual people, including their names.
4. The whole thing is a deep satire.
5. The book gets much funnier when you realize Patrick is closet gay.
