I read The Piano Teacher years ago. What did you think of it?

Disturbing! lol

I read a library copy, and someone had written in beautiful script in the front that I should also watch the movie, which they recommended highly. Which I did. (BTW, I used to want a robe just like the teacher, in the movie, but now I can't get her out of my mind... :/ )

Anyway...it is an excellent character study of repressed sexuality and personality disorder.

Yeah, I also saw the movie. It's been so long that I don't remember the details, but I recall liking it.

What did you think of Shiver? After reading your comments above I really want to check out the Piano Teacher. I love disturbing books and character study.

Shiver was just OK. I didn't want to continue with the others.

The Piano Teacher was very good, and original. It was a disturbing character study...so there you go! Just your cup of tea!

By the way...have you read The Collector, by John Fowles?
