Funny thing: although I had images of the 1956 film while reading the novel, I couldn't help thinking of Leonard Nimoy for the character of the psychiatrist 🙃

I've finally read Body Snatchers! 🌱 🌌

Very captivating, even if you've seen the 1956 film. The story is more detailed, as are the main character's thoughts.

And there are a few surprises 😀

Trouvé à pas cher ! 😀

Peut-être ma prochaine lecture 📖 🌱

Saviez-vous que le titre français du roman avait d'abord été "Graines d'épouvantes" ? Avant d'être renommé L'Invasion des Profanateurs (à cause de la VF du film)

In 2010, a critic wrote that “few modern-day movies are more genuinely frightening." I doubt that, but I'm sold.
