Title: A voyeur's dream; beautifully written and hauntingly illustrated.
Product review: The other reviewers have done a fine job discussing the content so I won't regurgitate that. But, this interesting book and its subsequent volumes are the bread and butter of any voyeur who likes to watch and think about the actions that are unfolding while staying a safe distance away. The details of the story are fleshed out nicely in little bits and pieces that you ascertain while reading the letters and postcards and as one reads it you discover just how sophisticated the characters truly are.Being a scholar of film, I admit that the voyeur comes with the territory but these books take that to an entirely new level and as an owner of the entire series, whenever I find myself feeling worn out by the insipid storytelling that seems so typical of current literature (both written and televisual), I turn to these texts and feel mentally, and even somewhat spiritually refreshed.
