The writing is excellent though and I definitely want to read more of Highsmiths work in the future. The book is, however, quite predictable, especially once you get to know the characters. ![]() There's suspense throughout the entire book, a waiting for something to happen. I think there's something wonderfully sinister about stories that reveal the darkness beneath what seems to be a fairly mundane and ordinary existence, and this is very good at it. ![]() It's also interesting because you can't help but wonder what the other side of the story is, seeing as all you get is the main characters thoughts and he's clearly a bit disturbed. He's a calm man at first, one can understand him, sympathise even, and then things take a turn and it gets even more interesting. ![]() The characters in this book are magnificent - I found reading the story from the main characters perspective to be utterly fascinating. ![]()
