Book: The Stepford Wives
Author: Ira Levin
Pages: 144
This is my 90th read for the year
This is the story of Joanna. She and her family move Stepford which seems like an idealic town. As they move in and start to meet the neighbors, Joanna finds all the women very strange. None seem to have any time for anything but housework and caring for their husbands. Joanna gets to know her neighbor Bobbie who also thinks something weird is going on. And what goes on in the Men's Club in town? Joanna is sure she needs to get to the bottom of it before she becomes like the other women in town and loses herself.
This was a very short book. It is a bit different than the movie that I saw years ago, but not much. It was written in the 70s, but has stood the test of time. It has a good general plot and was an easy, quick read. The reader is left a bit in the dark to try and figure out what has actually happened to the women (unless you watched the movie and you already know). Good little book.
Stars: 4
