Engleby is a fascinating read, only just occasionally losing pace mid=section. The narrator, Mike Engleby, builds up a strange relationship with the reader, sometimes Iago-like in sinister mode, at other times human and credible, even wryly amusing on occasion - this novel plays with the concept of the unreliable narrator. From Engleby's disturbed childhood, to the harshness of his public school, following his academic path at Cambridge through to his later career as a journalist, the reader is constantly left wondering about the truth, culminating in a chilling finale - the novel never fails to disturb, enhanced by Faulks' clarity of style and control of material. Enjoyable - perhaps not always, but intriguing, certainly.
