An easy short read. Apparently Roman Polanski made a film based on this book, and it does feel like it was intended for film. It reminded me in places of the old TV series " The Prisoner". The theme is paranoia and social isolation. Got a bit silly towards the end, but was redeemed by the last page!! Read more

I saw the filmed version of this incredibly disturbing but ultimately fascinating and keeps the reader guessing. Who exactly was Simone Chule? (sp) Was she a separate suicidal woman who leapt to her death, or was she always the protagonist, the French displaced timid soul whose friends seemed bizarre, loud and inconsiderate. I won't give anymore away---read it for yourselves and you'll get chills at times. Read more

A deeply delicious descent into paranoia and insanity, with some hauntingly dark imagery along the way. Highly recommended to anyone look for something a little bit different. Read more

Its a very tense read mostly the second half of the book. A little dry its writing. But for what its made it delivers; tension horror and the bizarre. What happens when all around you becomes a hellish nightmare. A good read Read more

Beautifully written novel about a man who has lost touch with his environment and himself in an existential pathway connected to Jean Paul Sartre’s Nausea. I love this book as well as the great film by Roman Polanski. A must have for any philosophical human being. Read more
