Very easy but disappointing read.

Reminds me of ‘Comfort Me with Apples', which I absolutely hated.

2.5 only for being easy to go through

A chilling and unsettling read. This is my second Ira Levin novel and I enjoyed this as much as Rosemary's Baby. A quick read but extremely thought provoking. Highly recommended.
