The story has a fantastic twist, and it happens midway through the book. There is tension in each part of the story, but handled in a different way, and I admired the author's ability to do this. The story is divided into three sections and each has a different feel, or mood, even though the main character remains constant throughout. But I persevered and shortly after that it got less tense and more interesting. This book was very intense for me, and there was a point where I just wanted to stop reading it. I don't do well with psychological suspense. That is all I want to say about the plot because it is best to come into this story knowing very little.
That becomes his goal in life and he will let nothing get in his way of getting what he wants. He wants to marry a young woman who has lots of money. He doesn't want to finish college and find a job and work his way up the ladder. The young man in this story is a World War II veteran with dreams and ambitions, but he wants to take short cuts to get to his goal. That doesn't sound too unusual, but in this case the situation eventually leads to the young woman's death. She is pregnant, and she wants to get married immediately. The story starts with a young man and woman, both college students, discussing their future. For me it was not a fun read, but it was rewarding. But I am finding it easier to try new things in my reading. Previously, I had avoided reading anything by Ira Levin because his books are mostly horror and very tense. I read this novel for the Classics Club Spin #22.
