( ) Jon_Hansen | Aug 30, 2023 | I haven't seen the movie, but I suspect it really destroyed the book - the strengths of this book would never stand the film treatment. If you have, just pretend you haven't and read the book anyway. It's interesting that it was written in a contemporary time to the time of publishing. I'm not sure the plot would stand up to that if it was published today, but it's not 'dated' in it's ideas. Think of it as 'historical sci-fi' and you'll be fine. ( ) furicle | Aug 5, 2023 | I am sufficiently traumatised by that super creepy scifi mystery. Like, arm hairs standing on end creepy! The tension was palpable as these glowy eyed terrors turned their evil gazes on villagers that displeased them. Thoroughly recommend this. I am enjoying reading these classic OG scifi novels that have inspired books and movies and, in my opinion, have stood the test of time remarkably well.

In the sleepy English village of Midwich, a mysterious silver object appears and all the inhabitants fall unconscious. A day later the object is gone and everyone awakens unharmed - except that all the women in the village are discovered to be pregnant. The resultant children of Midwich do not belong to their parents: all are blonde, all are golden eyed. They grow up too fast and their minds exhibit frightening abilities that give them control over others and brings them into conflict with the villagers just as a chilling realisation dawns on the world outside . . . The Midwich Cuckoos is the classic tale of aliens in our midst, exploring how we respond when confronted by those who are innately superior to us in every conceivable way.
