Özet

Brought to you by Penguin.

Withdrawn, uneducated and unloved, Frederick is a loner who collects butterflies and takes photographs. He is obsessed with a beautiful stranger, the art student Miranda, whom he watches from afar. When he wins the pools, he buys a remote Sussex country house and painstakingly works to make the cellar a comfortable prison. He then calmly abducts Miranda, believing that she will inevitably grow to love him in time if she just gets to know him.

Alone and desperate, Miranda must struggle to overcome her own prejudices and contempt if she is understand her captor and gain her freedom.

Taught and utterly compelling, Fowles' debut novel The Collector was an instant bestseller when it was published in 1963. It is regarded as one of the best thrillers of all time with one of the most terrifying villains to have ever been created on the page.

He has a magnificent narrative gift...brilliant
A brilliant, unusual theme... Short and spare and direct, an intelligent thriller with psychological and social overtones
Brilliant...an artist of great imaginative power
No book will make you appreciate the great outdoors more than this creepy locked-room horror story
There is not a page in this first novel which does not prove that its author is a master storyteller

I struggled to keep listening through part three, I think it was. The female narrator spoke in a monotone. I'm sure she was trying to give the impression of depression and loneliness, but it didn't match her actions. Maybe she had been told to read it like that, but it was tedious. And the character she played was such a pretentious young woman, not very likeable. I became irritated and bored with the book. Possibly I would still have disliked that part if I had been reading it, but the narration made it worse. Once that part ended I became interested again, and I was glad I heard the ending. On the whole, the story was interesting, and I might have given it a higher rating if I had read it myself.

The female narration spoiled this for me.

Brilliant! I have read The Collector many times and wanted it in audio format. Unfortunately the female narrator was so flat and monotone. Such a discredit to a great character such as Miranda.

Amazing story

I found the story brilliant and always looked forward to listening to more, I hit a wall when the female narrator came into play, finding it hard to see a clear line between her subject changes but the further along it got, the more I enjoyed hearing her side of the story; overall it was really enjoyable

Part one was utterly excellent, I hated part two because it was basically part one but from a pretentious perspective mixed with a terrible narrator. I must be in the minority, but I really didn’t like Miranda at all. Part two was definitely the weakest part of the book.

Was unsure due to other reviews criticising the female narrator (and there is no excerpt from ‘Miranda’ on the sample). Took a chance and glad I did- she did an excellent job.

Great Narration, Great Plot
