Before this i would mainly read fantasy novels. I am studying English at A level and had to pick a non fantasy novel to do. And there isn't a better book to pick. Brilliantly written, great story line and all around superb! Would recomend to any one. I was hooked from the very first page and couldn't put it down. Wyndham draws you deep into the novel and keeps you wanting more even after the last page. BUY THIS BOOK!!!!

We think that Wyndham's book 'The Chrysalids' was an extraordinary book with amazing descriptions. This book would be suitable for people of 11 years and upwards. Some of the ideas are quite challenging, but we read it in class, and were able to have discussions about some of these elements, for example whether the Great Horses were a deviation or not.
The book starts with David's dream of a calm sea, and a shining city with flying fish shaped machines, but this is a world that the people of Waknuk have never seen. The introduction made us think initially that the book might be a little boring, but then we met Sophie. Sophie is a normal, fun loving girl...or is she... 'The Chrysalids' is great because it doesn't give us all ... Read More: >>More Details |

The Midwich Cuckoosby: John Wyndham September 28, 2000 |

|
Wyndham does it again with 'The Midwich Cuckoo' where he provides a book that immediately captures the imagination and then keeps you hooked to the final resolution. His style is deceptively simple and yet the descriptions are rich and give full flesh to the story. The film 'Village Of The Damned' was based on this book ad if you know that film you will be aware of the basic premise. Without giving anything away, this book follows life in a village where everyone is rendered unconscious for a 24 hour period and on awakening all the females have become pregnant. We then see how the village deals with this unexpected occurrence and what happen once the babies start being born. The ending leaves you satisfied and clears up most loose ends and for a short novel ... Read More:

The questions which preoccupied John Wyndham - alien intelligence, the justification of war, world political relations and economic infrastructure, social norms, prejudice, the impracticality of religion, an inability to think 'outside the box' - appear in all his writing. Clearly, Wyndham thought these questions too important, too widely applicable, to be confined to one book, and the potency of his work lies in his systematic and extensive engagement with these ideas. Wyndham therefore has more in common with the prophetic dystopias of Orwell and Huxley than with the science fiction genre.
Wyndham's different narrators afford him the opportunity of exploring the same ideas from a fresh perspective each time. These people tend to be 'everyman', allowing us a convenient ... Read More: >>More Details |

Young Matthew Gore is an ordinary suburban boy who begins to hold long conversations with a mysterious presence that no-one else can perceive. His worried parents watch fearfully and try to help the boy, as he begins to produce extraordinary artworks and think in binary. His capacity for physics suddenly becomes boundless and he has knowledge which eminent scientists would find quite amazing. This novel is a record of the ambiguously sexed Chocky's impact on the lives of the Gore family. Chocky is not a work that fits with our go-faster-stripe marked times. Had it been written today, Chocky could have well been a menacing presence, most likely would have been misconstrued as attempting to conquer the mind of this one child and perhaps next, the world entire. But no, he/she ... Read More: >>More Details |
