To conclude, The Collector belongs to the lot of those delightful modern classics that don’t feel quaint and instead introduces you to novelty in structure, language and plot.
I don’t wish to give away what this peculiarity is, and I guess I would advise people to avoid spoilers at all costs when it comes to this book. I was quite surprised with the narration, to be honest. I knew so little about the story that the peculiarity of the book had a pleasant, unexpected impact on me. Some phrases he used in this sense were very apt and deftly lucid. Sick: I cannot find a better word to describe what I thought of the man. I also liked how Fowles’ painted the kidnapped as yet another of the collector’s preys. Indeed, the collector is a sick, worryingly sick, persona, and reading his account of events felt just like delving into the mind of a real psychopath. Besides, where this story could have easily gone off the rails and become another absurd Hollywood flick, Fowles keeps to a realism that, ultimately, is what makes this book so intense. He uses paragraphs very economically and efficiently. I thought Fowles, with such a plot as this, would linger on the kidnapper’s psyche and past, but he is instead very to the point. First off, the English is simple and fluid. I think in recent years this is one of the books I’ve finished really fast. The Collector is hugely compelling. So much so that it was almost impossible to put it down. It turned out that it is one of the most popular classics published by Vintage. The blurb was tempting enough, but I preferred checking it out online first before buying it. Price can change due to reprinting, price change by publisher or sourcing cost change for imported books.I noticed this book on a huge table dedicated to compelling reads in Waterstones.Table of Contents,Index,Syllabus,summary and image of The Collector (Vintage Classics) book may be of a different edition or of the same title.
