Publisher Description
"A superb novel...Evil has seldom been so sinister." --Time
Hailed as the first modern psychological thriller, The Collector is the internationally bestselling novel that catapulted John Fowles into the front rank of contemporary novelists. This tale of obsessive love--the story of a lonely clerk who collects butterflies and of the beautiful young art student who is his ultimate quarry--remains unparalleled in its power to startle and mesmerize.
"A bravura first novel...As a horror story, this book is a remarkable tour de force." --New Yorker
Customer Reviews
Terrifying.
To realize that this book was the inspiration for a serial killer makes it just that much more horrifying.
Okay
Interesting from the collector’s point of view, I didn’t find Miranda’s descent too surprising/unpredictable though.
Lacks Punctuation and Has Bad Grammar
It is lacking punctuation and filled with grammar errors. I forced myself to finish it because I liked the concept, but the poor editing was annoying.
