Book Reviews of The Collector (Back Bay Books)
Book Review: skip the middle
Summary: 5 Stars
I give this book five stars if you skip most of the "diary" portion, or four stars if you read the entire book. The captive victim's thoughts contained mostly in the midsection of the book became drawn out and boring. It may help to understand what she was planning, but it was just too tiresome and I wanted to keep jumping ahead. The ending is haunting and really does delve into the mind of a sociopath. An excellent read.
Summary of The Collector (Back Bay Books)
In this chilling, unnerving tale, John Fowles tells of a psychopathic obsession and its terrifying consequences. A clerk with a singular passion for collecting butterflies, painstakingly stalks and kills them at the moment of their greatest beauty to display in glass cases. But his obsession spills over into daily life when he becomes obsessed with a beautiful art student, determined to add her to his collection..."A brilliant, unusual theme... an intelligent thriller". - The Sunday Times
