I don't know why it's taken such a long time for me to get round to reading this Jack Finney novel but, finally, I have. It's an engrossing read and carries even more menace than any of the film versions. It's also interesting how the first movie version played highly on the 'red menace' of the times but, in the book, there is no feeling of analogy with the cold war. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that the reasoning behind the events is even more frightening.
The only puzzle is why I waited so long to get around to this fine book
