*kreisch* gleich 3 Bücher in einem Adventskalendertürchen! Du bist ja verrückt :) Da hast du meine Wunschliste ja gleich ganz schön geplündert! ;)
The Stepford Wives habe ich bisher nur in meiner DVD-Sammlung und finde den Film so toll, dass ich schon immer das Buch lesen wollte. Vielen, vielen Dank!

The book is definitely creepier than the movie (and her I can only speak for the Nicole Kidman version). While the movie is quite funny in parts and has the feeling to it of being just a nice Sunday afternoon film, the book IS creepy - it's like quiet horror, I can't describe it in another way.
Joanna moves with her family to Stepford, where it is difficult for her to find friends among the other wives. They all seem to be too perfect housewives: beautiful, caring, and then they don't have any interests besides their household. Her husband and the children, though, are having a good time - and Joanna feels that the distance in her marriage grows bigger and bigger. When her only two friends are changing, too, she starts thinking hard...
I loved the refreshing story line and couldn't put the book down even though I knew what was coming because I had been watching the movie three or four times already. Still, there are differences, and it was nice discovering them. And even though the book was written in 1972, the idea behind it is still a topic that needs discussion nowadays...how equal are women and men even now? Do women decide willingly for a role they want to fulfill in their lives? Do we trust our men so far that we won't think they'd like to transform us into perfect housewives? ;)
A great read but I think I'll try to get my hands on another copy of the original version as this edition was worked on in order to make it a little easier to understand for English learners.

This little piece of Stepford will move to Far East Russia ;) As she's an English teacher I hope my friend can maybe use this book :)
