Another book I never really knew the plot to but always heard referenced - and whose movie I'd never seen. What a delight! This is exactly the kind of plot I enjoy. Very mid sci-fi, a bit of spookiness, and overall well written. Levin writes in a way that immersed me into the story, felt like I was there, without being overly descriptive or wordy.
I don't always love an open ending, but I think this one was just right. Poor Joanna.

I have the exact same opinion as I have for the 1975 film: Great, amazing, even almost perfect, but only 4 stars because the 5th star would've been if it was lesbian. Don't get me started on that 2004 travesty.
