Invasion of the Body Snatchers by Jack Finney
4.0
This first came across my radar after I watched the movie with Donald Sutherland in January/February. I heard there were differences between the novella and film, so I decided to read it and see how they compared.
I haven't read a lot of sci-fi over the last 25 years, so I can't speak to it's standing in the genre and I definitely cannot tell you if I liked the book better than the movie. But it was a solid story that I enjoyed, it took me a little while to get through but it was by no means boring, I was just distracted. When I wasn't reading it - I was thinking about picking it up and finishing it.
I liked the more hopeful ending as opposed to the one in the Donald Sutherland movie, even though that was shocking and one of the best twists I've seen in a film.
I don't have any complaints about this at all. Would reccomend.
