Painful, painful, painful read. It was all I could do to finish it. And, well, actually, I didn't. I had to skip the last 40 pages of Miranda's section. I had such high hopes for this book, too. The premise (half the book is told from the point of view of the kidnapper and the other have from the perspective of his victim) was so incredibly intriguing to me. When it comes down to it, I just didn't believe the characters. They were totally false to me. I kept thinking, "there is no way these characters would behave in this manner." I recognize that part of that feeling might be due to the fact it was written in 1963 (you definitely get the sense that it's set in the late 50's or early 60's) and takes place in England... but... The characters were simply false. I couldn't buy into their actions and emotions. He was incredible weak and quite simply, stupid and Miranda was a harpy. It's funny because initially you think that perhaps Freddie is narcissistic and then wind up realizing that Miranda, in her own way, is equally as bad. Sure, she doesn't kidnap anyone but her self-absorption is tiresome. By the end, I had no sympathy for her and could care less about whether she lived or died. She's locked in the basement of a man she doesn't know and appears to have zero fear and feels completely comfortable belittling and humiliating her capture. Huh?!? Well... I could go on and on about that. Another aspect that bothered me was that I kept getting the distinct impression that the author (not just the characters) really disliked women and that much of Miranda's diatribes were really reflections of the author's opinions of society at the time. Which was, ultimately, just one more aspect of the novel that I found annoying. Seriously, had I not set a goodreads.com goal of 75 books, I would've put this book down at page 180ish; but I felt as though I'd invested too much time to just give up. So... I would say... avoid this book. It's not worth the struggle. If the topic is one you're intrigued by, then I would highly, highly recommend Still Missing by Chevy Stevens. Stevens has a MUCH better insight into human nature.
