I REALLY do like Ira Levin's style of writing!

There's a frightening secret in the town of Stepford, and Joanna & Bobbie hope to get out of Dodge before it's too late, but the Men's Association is powerful and time is running out.

THE STEPFORD WIVES is a creepy little satirical novella that proves (some) men are pretty shallow or really were afraid of the Women's Liberation Movement!

Suspenseful and deadly read!

Petra It's a year now, still in a dark place I will be interested to read it. I had a very strong reaction to this book.

Sara I remember how chilling the original movie was. It was the perfect book for its time.

I believe I did see the movie long ago Sara, but really didn't remember much.......or the ending. Hope to watch it again.

Loved your review Petra!


Zoeytron Good review, Carol. It's the ending of the original movie that has stayed with me. It was chilling, raised the hackles on the back of my neck right proper!

I need to get a hold of a copy......with all the darn channels I pay for including Netflix, Hulu and Apple TV, wouldn't you think it might be on one of them. GRRRRR.....
