Review of 'The collector' on 'Goodreads'

3.5
i seem to rate most of the books i read 3.5 but oh well.

i actually did like this book, i found it quite interesting but mostly the first part of it, in which we get the perspective from the kidnapper. i found the second part with the victim's account a bit more annoying simply because i just did not like her at all. sure, she was a victim and whatnot, but her personality was just too irritating, too self-conceited, as if her ideas and her way of thinking were the only true, respectable way and like what. anyway. still, it was quite an interesting book from a psychological pov and just entertaining.
