I've read reviews by people who were annoyed by the author making himself a character and adding comments about writing the book throughout the narrative, but I believe those are the things that make this book so damn interesting. Its Fowles comments on the Victorian age, looking back from the mid-20th century. I haven't watched the movie, and I don't plan to watch the movie. It may be good, but I really don't want to imagine Meryl Streep (ugh!) and Jeremy Irons (yuck!) playing Sarah and Charles. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/172674?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
