What does this mean?Highlights
Quality
If you like a good scifi read you cant go wrong with the body snatchers
I have been seeking this book for some time and now with the amazing facilities at amazon i have located this work
The writing is of a time that i enjoy the simplicity of the horror is deepened with the understatement
Some dated aspects but nothing too bad
Competitiveness
If youve seen the 1956 film then this is almost the same except for the ending

Whilst if youve seen the film versions there is a lot to recognise the interesting thing is the ending which i wont spoil for you but adds a new element that id not known about

Theres a bit of a clunky sappy 50s man and his little lady vibe but actually when the going gets rough the little lady shrugs off the screamer stereotype to wade in

Great evocation of paranoia whilst at the same time celebrating whats good about being human and it never goes over the top in its depiction of events
