it was ok

After totally enjoying and adoring The magus and The collector I really expected Fowles to score a hattrick, but no. I disliked A Maggot for its too dense, too descriptive writing, for its old English language (weirdly alternating with (post)modern commentary from a future narrators POV - Fowles himself?) and for its futile attempt to make this complex mystery into something compelling.
