My favorite first line in the history of books; one of my favorite novels of all time as well.
This is a really interesting novel. It’s the point on a line in-between Jane Eyre and modern thrillers like Gone Girl.

My brother recommended I read this book for my reading challenge, and I absolutely loved it! I'm sad I didn't read it sooner.

I loved this as much now as I did when I read it in high school. The only thing that changed from my first read 30-ish years ago was my impatience with the naïveté of the narrator, which is obviously by design.

This time I listened to it, and the narrator is incredible and perfect.
