Why read it?

1 author picked The House of Stairs as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

A very original piece of writing - as expected from this author. Not so much a twist at the end as a surprise that - when you looked back - you should have been able to see. An interesting narrator.

This is a psychological thriller rather than a crime novel, and a very fine one.
