I found this story immensely disturbing. I had heard of de Clérambault's syndrome before but didn't know too much about it, read up on it a bit more after reading this book, creepy, not the average run of the mill stalking. Ian McEwan is a talented writer, however, this story seemed to lack something, I'm not sure what. The interconnectedness between the characters seemed irrelevant and failed to hold my interest. The film adaptation is equally disturbing, great opening scene!
