I've read this book twice and couldn't face reading it again. So sorry for not exactly joining in this month.
Last year I thought I'd completely forgotten the plot as it must be 30 years since I first read it. As soon as I started reading the book again, I knew who the cad was and hated the narrator. Although I finished the book, I didn't enjoy it.
Perhaps the book is so well-written that the character of the narrator shines through his text. But - I can't really give it any stars after rereading it as there was no suspense at all. I have no idea how I felt the first time but, I was more alert in those days, and cannot imagine not seeing through the narrator.
