Reply to comment by Dazzling-Ad4701 in The Collector by John Fownles by Danercore
I looked it up and apparently it's actually half a dozen serial killers obsessed with this book. I was thinking of Lake and Ng, but apparently they were just one of many.
That's a review in itself right there. Some might say a good review, some might say bad, but definitely a review.

that's probably a fair indicator of what kind of story you'll be reading, but calling it a 'review' is a really shallow and limited attitude. a review takes some notice of a books literary and technical merit too.
i bet there are paedophiles out there who think lolita is a porno novel or a how-to. that doesn't make it any less exceptional as a work of literature.

I think you'll find nobody said it did.

I am, thanks :D

True, nobody mentioned lolita at all, until me. You said the fact that a set of sickos were obsessed with the collector was ”a review in itself." Which I think is narrow-minded, self-righteous nonsense.

Some people will get offended by anything, I litterally even said it could be a good review. Don't worry next time I make a joke I'll make sure that I don't abuse the word review, I know how sacred the definition of review is to you 🙄
