The Stepford Wives av Ira Levin

Pretty slow and boring for the majority of it. Picked up in the last 30 pages. Very blatant but not terrible.

Rosemary's Baby av Ira Levin

Does a really great job of seeding suspicions in the mind of the reader along the way, even as the doubts of our protagonist are entirely justified. The setup for the bait & switch with Rosemary's baby is much more subtle here than in the movie adaptation, giving you plenty of reason to worry with her. Worth a read even if you've seen the film.
Good narration.

The Boys from Brazil av Ira Levin

Great pageturner. Unfortunately it's hard to get a "virgin" experience that does justice to the way Levin sets up and writes about the ultimate reveal of the plot since any reader now has most likely picked up on the main outline of the plot through cultural osmosis. Levin writes almost like he's setting up the screenplay with the way he cuts between scenes and dialogue.
