Book Reviews of The Stepford Wives
Book Review: "They never stop, these Stepford wives...They work like robots all their lives."
Summary: 5 Stars
After moving with her husband and two young children to the small, rural, picture perfect town of Stepford, thirty-two-year-old Joanna Eberhart soon realizes that something isn't right. Although able to befriend another newcomer, Bobbie Markowe, she is perplexed by the seemingly unfriendly behavior of the majority of the less recent inhabitants, especially the overwhelmingly buxom, beautiful women who complete their hausfrauian duties so contentedly. Their cheerful smiles and polite but distant greetings appear to hide something a bit more sinister. The actions of the men are equally suspicious. Upon taking up residence in Stepford, they immediately join the local men's organization and start acting strangely secretive. Both Joanna and Bobbie notice a transformation in appearance and behavior of the townswomen over time. As the women get closer to the truth, the men take action. The Stepford Wives is a short, spectacular sci fi look at conformity, ingenuity, and the quest for perfection. Also good: The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood.
