I listened to the audiobook of this classic when reading for the first time, and I really enjoyed it. I did feel the beginning had a lot of repeat introspection by the narrator that I got sick of, but ultimately it all built up so well to the climax and then conclusion. Definitely an interesting view into the psychology of the whole thing, and I found my own views of the characters so skewed by the narrator. Definitely so well written and really haunting - the kind that must be discussed after! I’d say it’s worthy of being a classic.
