Book Description:
All the beautiful people live in the idyllic village of Stepford, Connecticut, an affluent suburban Eden populated with successful, satisfied hubbys and their beautiful, dutiful wives. For Joanna Eberhart, a recent arrival with her husband and two children, it all seems too perfect to be true -- from the sweet, accommodating Welcome Wagon lady to all those cheerful, friendly faces in the supermarket checkout lines. But just beneath the town's flawless surface, something is sordid and wrong -- something abominable with roots in the local Men's Association. And it may already be too late for Joanna to save herself from being devoured by Stepford's hideous perfection.

Amy H. (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.
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!
The book seems so simple, yet when you step back after having read it, you realize it's about much more. Creepy, compelling,very readable.
Pretty good book, I read it after I saw the movie, and it is SO different. I enjoyed it very much, and hope y'all will too.
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.
This is a very quick read, good for an \"inbetween.\" I enjoyed it but was a little let down after seeing the previews for the movie.
