![]() ![]() The changes in the revised text, as far as I can tell, were minor.

The movie, Invasion of the Body Snatchers came out in 1956. The first whole edition came out in 1955. The Body Snatchers was originally serialised in Colliers Magazine in 1954. I wish somebody had told me this before I read the book. If you haven’t read The Body Snatchers already, let me tell you a bit about its history before you rush out to buy a copy. I didn’t know they were based on a book until I saw this novel being discussed in Stephen King’s Danse Macabre, a history of horror.

She struggled to gather her wits through a pounding headache, piecing together fragments of memories and perceptions until with a dizzying rush of clarity she remembered where she was, and what had happened to her. ![]() Her face felt thick, heavy, and after a moment, she realized that her entire head had been liberally smeared with mud. Loose dirt had been piled over her arms, and into her hair.

Most of the events described are actual ones, although he did add a mission to both the Gemini and Apollo programs.įans of Michener or epic novels in general will definitely enjoy this one.

The tragedy is that this is the final book in the Track series. ![]() ![]() ![]() Williams' play sought to depict working-class characters as psychologically-evolved entities to some extent, Williams tries to portray these blue-collar characters on their own terms, without romanticizing them. In the plays of the period, depictions of working-class life tended to be didactic, with a focus on social commentary or a kind of documentary drama. Among the play's greatest achievements is the depiction of the psychology of working class characters.
