Rating: - This Perfect Day
I read this book when I was in school and have always remembered it. I wanted my son to read it - with the way things are, it is not all that unbelievable that it is possible.
Rating: - ONE OF THE BEST EVER - IT GETS MORE SCARY AS THE YEARS GO BY.
I first read this in as an undergrad - again about 15 years later & now, again after another 15 years This is a fantastic look at what our world is becoming. Very scary but also gives some ideas for those that will have to combat the "superstructuring" of their lives that will come one day. The book should be required reading for all first year college students & we can hope that they will give it some serious thought as well as enjoy it as much as its' faithful readers do. I used to think ... Read More
Rating: - Long Lost favorite
I don't remember how I came to own this book, maybe through a bookclub, but I read it years ago. I loved it and re-read it several times. It is the sort of book that you can't get out of your mind.

Rating: - This Book Doesn't Get it's Due...
I admit it- I bought this book because I liked the cover art, and man is it great! It reminded me of the film Equilibrium, except it was written about 30 years prior. Everybody thinks or Rosemary's Baby & The Stepford Wives when they think of Levin, but This Perfect Day is his true masterpiece. Why isn't this a movie? The end where the old man's head is on the young athletic body would be so cool to see on the big screen. And many parts are very sexy. Like the organized orgies. And the women who ... Read More
Rating: - This Perfect Day by Ira Levin
At age 58 I cannot remember when I first read this book. It's not that I am losing my mind, but it was that long ago. I have haunted used book stores, flea markets and online, and have bought several hard backs and soft backs so that I am not without a copy of this book (Does this ring of the movie "Conspiracy Theory and the Catcher in the Rye"). I also shared this book with my daughter who is not as much a reader as I am and she loved it too. I cannot understand why this book has not been brought ... Read More
