This is one of the few books that I really, really did not like. It's creepy, disturbing, and unpleasant.
That said, I had to laugh a little at the idea that the animatronics at Disneyland (the supposed inspiration for the perfect wives) were so realistic they could fool anybody. I've seen those things, and they are definitely in the uncanny valley.
If you haven't seen the movie (the original, not that horrible comedic remake with Nicole Kidman), it's very creepy too.
