I'm having a hard time organizing my thoughts on this book. It was scary, not like can't-sleep-with-the-lights-off-for-a-couple-nights, but more like do-we-ever-really-know-anybody?? sort of thing. Even knowing before hand that the narrator was unreliable, I still found myself surprised and horrified at the end. The narrator used a lot of derogatory language commonly used in the 1970s which bugged me, but I did enjoy the book. The characters were interesting.
