Search - The Stepford Wives

This reminded me of the stuff we read in 5th grade but it was fast and easy. Nothing wrong with that type of book. I didn't really like the end, it was predictable.

A compulsive read and one of the best books I have read in months. A distopia that makes fun of men who get off on the idea of having perfect looking robots for wives instead of women with personalities. Says a lot about our society, even three decades later.

The movie was better. The book just leaves you hanging at the end.

I really enjoyed this book. It has a way of unraveling that is pretty unique. The author brushes over mundane day to day details to keep you interested in what is truly interesting. The main character Joanna is relatable (at least to me) and quickly you are pushing for her and the truth to come out about the mysteries of Stepford.

I saw both movies before reading this book. I particularly enjoyed the 1970's version of the movie. I did not like the book nearly as well. The writing style was lifeless. It read like a grocery list.

In a suburb of NYC, a small town of Stepford has a secert. Everyone is TOO nice, TOO perfect, and TOO alike to be normal. When Joanna and her husband move into the neighborhood, they are dazzled with the charming, welcoming iddylic charm. That is, until Joanna unearths a sinister plot that will shake her world to the core. If you've seen the movie, starring Nicole Kidman, read the book to see how the two compare...you might be suprised! An overall good read!
