I think that had I come to this book without knowing the plot I would have given it a higher rate. But things are as they are and 3 1/2 stars are all that it gets *laughs*
It's short but it packs a mighty punch and even when I knew what was going on it still managed to be a gripping tale and filled me with a terrible sense of dread! <i>“I like to watch women doing little domestic chores”</i> *shudders*
And I loved Bobby!
A great story told in a great way. Oh, and please, please, please, if you want to see this in a movie go for the 1975's one. The one from 2004 is a really bad adaptation.

Het was een boek dat ik moest lezen voor Engels, ik had in het begin een verwachting dat het boek heel saai zou worden, maar dat viel mee. Al vond ik het einde wel vervelend, je weet ongeveer wat er gebeurt met de vrouwen maar je komt er nooit echt achter. Je moet er zelf over nadenken.

WARNING!
Don't read the "introduction to the perennial edition" unless you want to read a dull summary that spoils the book before it even begins. So glad I skipped it.
