Even if this novel had come out 40 years after it had, it would still be heralded a classic.
The Collector is a study of sociopathic obsession. Frederick adores art student Miranda from afar, and the adoration turns to abduction when a winfall allows him to take his obsession to the ultimate level.
His story is told from the first person, then the next chapter is the story from her point of view.
This is an excellent read, and his rationalization of his actions I'm sure is worthy of any psychological studies. No wonder this is still in print.
