I love this book!
Reread it after several years to ensure it was still one of my favourites.
There are some areas where I would have loved a bit more detail, but overall this short book packs a real punch. At somehow manages to be terrifying, hilarious, pointed, and timely despite being written over 50 years ago.
Joanna is such a good character. As I was reading the end of part II I found my adrenaline pumping despite having read the book before and knowing what would happen.
Ira Levin’s writing style is to the point, punchy, and precise.
This book has so much more to offer than the film versions or the cultural reference it has become. I highly recommend.
