John Updike
“John Updike is the great genial sorcerer of American letters [and] The Witches of Eastwick [is one of his] most ambitious works.... [A] comedy of the blackest sort.” (The New York Times Book Review)
Toward the end of the Vietnam era, in a snug little Rhode Island seacoast town, wonderful powers have descended upon Alexandra, Jane, and Sukie, bewitching divorcées with sudden access to all that is female, fecund, and mysterious. Alexandra, a sculptor, summons thunderstorms; Jane, a cellist, floats on the air; and Sukie, the local gossip columnist, turns milk into cream.
Their happy little coven takes on new, malignant life when a dark and moneyed stranger, Darryl Van Horne, refurbishes the long-derelict Lenox mansion and invites them in to play. Thenceforth scandal flits through the darkening, crooked streets of Eastwick - and through the even darker fantasies of the town’s collective psyche.
“A great deal of fun to read...fresh, constantly entertaining.... John Updike [is] a wizard of language and observation.” (The Philadelphia Inquirer)
“Vintage Updike, which is to say among the best fiction we have.” (Newsday)

The book was funny in places but it was more of a heavy type read and the ending was really not that happy......I felt a bit sad and disheartened by it and it really wasn't what I thought would be a more light....quirky type of read. I guess I was just expecting more and so therefore I was letdown. Don't get me wrong......the writing style of John Updike is beautiful and so full of description that it is very easy to visualize what he wants you to see.....it just wasn't that amazing book that I was looking for....it was more of an okay book that you are neither happy or sad that you read it.
I'm not really sure what I was wanting to gain....

Sometimes the story is painful. Having said that there is a episode wherein a character preaches in church and it is one of the funniest things that I have ever read.
As far as the audiobook, it is mostly excellent. However, I need to report that as I read and listened simultaneously, there was one point wherein the narration seemed to get pages out of sequence. This is late in the novel and I only noted it one time. I think if I had ONLY listened I would have been temporarily confused.
Thank You....
