This is my third Fowles novel but I think I would have found it much more engaging if it was my first. It’s a highly unique take on a Victorian novel but I found it a little dull compared to the Collector and the Magus. Is this a highly biased and perhaps an unfair take? Yes, but unfortunately I don’t possess the ability to consume media in a vacuum.
