Well some guy i saw a video on said the detective awas a 'manifistation of his guilt'...so i guess that meant hallucination. What a load of tripe.

Thanks for clearing that up for me though, if the author says so its enough evidence for me.

I liked this book though, it was a bit dull at the start but i liked the underlying theme of a cold, uncaring place which is both perfect for our pschopathic protaganist and also suffocating him.

Im almost tempted to look into his other works but now ill steer clear if this was just a posative fluke in an otherwise poor literary career.

On a side note: did he take the movie interpretation well i wonder? looking at both, i can see some small changes the film made but now i know they were for the positive. Most of its word for word the book though, which is refreshing.

Seriously though, introductions often contain info about the book that [you, the reader] should rather discover yourself (things as spoilers and thematic observations) rather than have them rubbed in your face before having even started to read the actual book (and have that info take away from the experience). Now I won't say that introductions can't be useful for things as historical context and maybe some intel about the writer. But most of the time you're better off just skipping them.
