Beschreibung

For Joanna, her husband, Walter, and their children, the move to beautiful Stepford seems almost too good to be true. It is. For behind the town's idyllic facade lies a terrible secret—a secret so shattering that no one who encounters it will ever be the same.

At once a masterpiece of psychological suspense and a savage commentary on a media-driven society that values the pursuit of youth and beauty at all costs, The Stepford Wives is a novel so frightening in its final implications that the title itself has earned a place in the American lexicon.

I watched one of the movie adaptations some years ago and liked the idea. However, if you already know the twist going into the book, you basically know all there is to know. You won't get more background information on what's going on or anything. While that was disappointing and a lot of the things shown in the book aren't that exciting, the writing was enjoyable and there were some small, nice humorous moments. I liked the honest portrayel of everyday life and parenting, also near the end, there was some more excitement. Honestly, if you aren't wondering what's going on in this place, this isn't a standout book. It's left its mark for a reason, but there is not enough exploration of that aspect to satisfy what I wanted from it, and not enough other values to make it work perfectly nonetheless. Sidenote: The introduction is tedious, not only is it (like it seems to be the norm) spoiling the book, but I don't really know what it wants to tell me. I'm sure Palahniuk hasn't read the books he's trying to discredit and his view of women is weird to say the least
