    There is a novel titled This Perfect Day, by Ira Levin, the author of The Stepford Wives and
    Rosemary's Baby. It was written in the sixties, but is very relevant to todays world.
    IMO, it should be required reading for high school Seniors. It'up there with 1984
    and Brave New World.

    Check out the reviews at THE amazing book store. Then read it. I bet a lot of folk here have.
    You won't be sorry!

    Sounds super freaky! How did you stumble across it?

    I read a ton, and the dystopian genre has really exploded over the last decade or so, especially in YA. I just went to Comic Con and picked up a bunch of new books, and a lot of them are dystopians. There are plenty of just OK ones, but when I stumble across a great one, it's really exciting!

    That sounds like a really good book.

    This is Classic dystopian Sci-Fi. A serious must read for all...

    As I said, Mom gave this to me.
    I was 12. There is a very questionable chapter that can be skipped by an astute
    editor.

    Seriously, judge for yourselves.

    Did you enjoy Rosemary's Baby, or The Stepford Wives...
    ?

    T'Bonz,
    Hopefully your endorsement will encourage curious minds....

    I just want EVERYONE to at least check this novel out. It puts The Stepford Wives to shame!
