![]() He seems to lay down the law and Dorrie meekly falls into line. Both are far too young to settle down to married life with a baby and besides they have the rest of their lives ahead of them, haven't they? So, it's plan B then.Īnd right from the beginning, there's a sense that the boyfriend is the dominant one in the relationship. ![]() She's been dating a handsome fellow student for a little while - and now she's pregnant. It opens with young and rather naive student Dorothy, or Dorrie as she's generally known. It starts with the eye-catching line I could kill Ira Levin and left me eager, very eager to get on and read the book. Most intros can be rather dull and pedantic but this one is refreshingly different. And what struck me straight away was the terrific introduction by Chelsea Cain. I haven't read any of Levin's books to date although I know various titles from television and films etc. Boy-girl-unwanted pregnancy is a familiar and much-used scenario but in Levin's hands the story is terrific and so is the suspense level. ![]() Summary: First published in 1954 to great acclaim and now regarded as a modern-day classic. ![]()
