Based on Annie’s suggestion in this thread, I read “A Kiss Before Dying”. I loved the suspense. Now I’m curious to read “Rosemary’s Baby” but since I already know the ‘twist’ at the end (I think, ha ha) I’m wondering if it will hold my attention.
I saw the movie many years ago. I don’t remember anything about it except
Oh, yeah, you’ll like it. In typical Ira Levin fashion, the ending is the least interesting part of the book; almost an afterthought. Good suspense, fun imagery. I dare you to read it and NOT see Cassavettes and Farrow in your mind’s eye (will not detract from the book).
If you don’t read “Stepford Wives” next, there’s no hope for you.
I’ll third the recommendation for This Perfect Day. Read it as a teenager when I was into dystopian future novels for a while there. I thought it was one of the best (with *1984 *at the top of the heap, of course).
