A review by tomasthanes
Invasion of the Body Snatchers by Jack Finney
3.0
If you've both seen "The Princess Bride" movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093779/) and read the [b:The Princess Bride|21787|The Princess Bride |William Goldman|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327903636s/21787.jpg|992628] book, then you're familiar with a book that is nearly the same as the movie. Reading this book reminded me so much of the (original) 1956 movie made 1 year after the book had been published.
The book was received with few ovations. One reviewer stated "Too many s-f novels lack outstanding originality, but this one lacks it to an outstanding degree." (Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Body_Snatchers)
The thing that kept me reading was the movie playing out in my mind as I was reading. Whether this is a good thing or not I will put off deciding as long as I possibly can.
