Title: Worth a read although Finney has an irritating style
Review: If you've seen the 1950's film version of this book then you know the story although the ending is different. Finneys idea is one of the classics of science fiction and is just as terrifying and fresh today as it was 40 years ago. However, Invasion of the Body snatchers is difficult to read because of Finneys unusual writing style. Finney seems to write both in the past and present at the same time which is very confusing.Women also play a very traditional role in the story: making breakfast, being loyal to their men and fainting. This would be fine if the book had not been updated in the late 80's as it would be a product, and reflection, of the 1950's. However set, as the book now is, in fall 1976 the stereotyped women are very irritating.Despite these shortcomings the book is worth a read as one of SF's classics and I prefer Finneys ending to the 1950's film.
