A review by apolasky
Engleby by Sebastian Faulks
5.0
What a distressingly gripping psychological thriller with a Woolfian stream-of-conciousness narrative and a highly unreliable narrator!
Engleby is an uncomfortably relatable character. He’s the type of person with whom you wouldn’t want to have thoughts in common, but some of his deep and dark feelings hit a close to home.
Faulks’ amazing writing style manages to make the reader understand where the protagonist is coming from and why he feels the way he does.
You can’t help wanting to turn the page to know what’s going to happen next, or what has really happened in the past.
Highly recommended to readers looking for Gone Girl, You and Fight Club vibes.
