The Collector (Book 34) in Book Challenge 2016 (52 books to be read in 52 weeks)

The Collector by Jon Fowles (283 pages) is one of those books that just leaves you with a creeped out feeling once you finish. The story of Frederick, a withdrawn loner who collects butterflies and is fascinated by art student Miranda. Who doesn’t know he exists.One day he wins the lottery and buys a house in the middle of nowhere. And then goes and abducts Miranda so that she can live in his basement. She tries to find a way to escape…

Told in four parts (Frederick and Miranda’s point of view, the conclusion and the aftermath), this is perhaps one of the few books that I have read that got a reaction out of me when I read the last page. Exhausting reading.
