The Collector

Intensely creepy and incredibly clever. Not just a story about a weird man who abducts a girl and imprisons her in the hope she will eventually fall in love with him. It's also a book about class, the rise of the middle class even. The 2nd part of the book, written from the point of view of Miranda, is a bit of a contract to parts 1, 3, 4. I found it a much harder read, probably why I gave it 4 stars. Must read for fans of dark psychological fiction.
