For the Book Riot 2016 Read Harder challenge, this title fell under Task 1 (Read a Horror Book) and Task 8 (Read a Book Originally Published in the Decade You Were Born; for me, 1970s). 
 This was a quick read, and felt a bit more like a short story than a novel. It was more or less exactly the story I was expecting, both from having seen at least one of the movies, and even before that, just knowing the concept of "Stepford Wife" -- so interesting to read the book that so effectively named that concept! 
 It was also less obviously in the horror genre than Ira Levin's Rosemary's Baby (I guess the creepiness of all of your feminist friends turning into docile homemakers, and of Disney's animatronics, is more subtle) so I may be on the lookout for another title to satisfy that Task.
