Stranger Than Fiction - Harold crick

Over the roves, the sky was faintly lit. Open shutters, a room was lit in the a block of flats. A man was asleep though her watch had rung at quarter past seven. Firstly he had woken up, he went to stop the alarm clock. Then, he went to the bathroom to brush one’s teeth and he was so fastidious that he counted his brushstrokes.

To finish he got dressed be robot-like and  he was fussy and methodical because he wore formal clothes.His name was Harold Crick and it's probably an accountant because it counted all the time.It's an IRS agent a taxman.

He lived alone, slept alone, ate alone and had a very well tidied apartment.

The next day, Harold believed to hear a feminine voice though this voice had changed him his habits.Every Harold's movements, the voice spoke about him and he discovered that this voice was the narrator.
