Book Synopsis

"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

    By Ozcrome
    To realize that this book was the inspiration for a serial killer makes it just that much more horrifying.
  • Disappointing

    By Emmet Aloysius
    Good beginning and ending but the middle of the book drags on with a good deal of philosophical and nonsensical rantings from one of the two major characters. Good potential but cannot recommend. I would try another Fowles book however...EAF
