I have never read an John Updike book before this one. The topic isn't normally one I would care much for to begin with, witches, the supernatural and the like. I picked up this book because I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and tv adaptation of the book. I picked up the book, figuring that there would be big differences between the books and film adaptations. At first I was disappointed by the differences, sex was more graphic, the women were home-wreckers, but I trudged through thinking "that's alright, I just need to accept that this is different." The first 150-200 pages were hard to read through. It didn't seem like much would happen, at least anything interesting. Once Jenny enters the story, I found it much faster to read and at times I didn't want to put the book down to find out what would happen. When I finished the book, there was a void that we not filled. So many questions, and dis-likable things about the story. Darryl Van Horne isn't blatantly seen as the "the Devil" as the film versions. Which means the whole showdown as the climax is completely fabricated in the filmed versions. I guess I wouldn't feel so cheated, if the ending didn't result in him running away, and have some sort of confrontation with the women. When reading I at first felt betrayed by the female characters, all being gossiping morons. But with many being very stereo-typed, it eventually seemed more like a satire. But even with that, the ending gives clouded views and mixed signals about what Updike is trying to say about the relationships about Women and Men. Atwood's review for the New York Times suggests that Updike is comparing the evil deeds that Alexandra, Sukie, and Jane perform to the male's Vietnam war. Men us force, and women are little more cunning. But I guess this is something I figured out when I was much younger, and seems a little pointless to be pointed out now that I am older. But what kept me to continue reading this book was Updike's writing. His descriptions alone were likable, and vivid. I enjoyed the very distinctive, but maybe not attractive characters, maybe not their actions. I think mostly, the book is a little dated for the newest generations. Clearly there are still separation of the sexes, but it has become more clouded. Most mothers are now actually expected to work, instead of staying at home. Feminism has drastically changed. Therefore, some of things Updike points out, seems pointless. Sure it might resonate more in very small-time-USA where football players and cheerleaders rule a high school, but not in the densely populated, liberal North-East coast of the United States.
