As claustrophobic as this made me I really liked the whole idea of the story. Brilliant shades of grey. Fowles created the Clegg character really well, because I honestly didn't know whether to consider him as a poor and lonely young man or a creepy and antisocial jerk. The Miranda part was at times a bit annoying but it gave a little humanity and feeling to the story. Her anxiety was definitely coming through from the pages. Had to read this in just one day, couldn't let this go.
