I was reading the Intro and just got a spoiler that the husband's kill the wives and replace them with dolls? Did I get a major spoiler? Still worth reading?
That’s the premise of the book. It’s kind of a spoiler…kind of not. If you don’t want to read the book, watch the movie from the 1970’s (1980’s?). Think it’s 70’s.
There was a newer version made that was more of a comedy…and it’s trash. Stick with the original movie if you go down that route.

It’s absolutely still worth reading. I read and enjoyed the book recently even though I’ve known the plot twist for years beforehand. It’s not only a good exploration of how progressivism can be used to mask misogyny, but also a great snapshot of a very particular era in history.
