The Midwich Cuckoos by John Wyndham
The only reason I read this book was because an extract of it was used in the Language Paper 1 last summer.
I was interested to see what it was all about.
It turns out the novel is about a village in which all the women of child-bearing age become mysteriously pregnant.
The children all end up to grow at an accelerated rate and have telepathic abilities.
I quite like the concept of the book, it is seen as a classic piece of science fiction, I just didn’t really like it that much.
I was slightly disappointed by the ending…
