OMG, I absolutely cannot believe the ending of this Ira Levin thriller. He never ceases to amaze me, and I don't think it's supposed to be funny, but I can't help it........HAHAHAHAHAHA.......Go Girl! It sure isn't often we have a heroine such as this.....
Anyway, welcome to 1300 Madison Avenue, a 21 story apartment building on Manhattan's East Side better known as Horror High-Rise or High-Rise Horror where there's a history of bizarre accidents that end in death and a shocking secret present within its walls.
SLIVER is described as a "sinuous erotic thriller" not so much erotica really, just a bit, but there is indeed a psychotic pervert that will eventually show his face. You will also find the term 'smooching' (no kidding) and mention of the old tv show Kukla, Fran and Ollie that put a smile on my face that only the older generation of readers will recognize, and then there's the Apropos Ironic Ending that totally satisfied this reader!
Am sad to say I only have two plays left to read, and then no more of this GREAT author.
