For me this book continually hovered on the verge of greatness, but never quite crossed over the threshold. It was still very enjoyable, though.

I read this book when I was very young, too young to understand the nature of not only taking a life but making a person suffer for life. This book opened my eyes to the separation of personality and abnormal behavior. Sometimes nice, well-meaning people are capable of awful things, but we don’t want to think about that, much less imagine it. We never want to find ourselves in such a predicament either. Needless to say, this book left an impression on me, one that I can't quite shake off to this day. I think if I had read this book when I was a few years older, I would’ve been able to appreciate its complexity and darkness more and maybe handle the combination better.
