    Exceptional Literature Disguised as Sci-Fi
  

*by V***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 2, 2023*

An astoundingly well-written novel with strong characters and a deeply thoughtful plot.  I typically don’t care for children as conduits but the simultaneous tenderness and frustration of connection between the young main character and his foreign visitor is an absolute delight.  This will be one I read many times again.

    Out Of The Mouths Of Babes
  

*by J***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 26, 2018*

John and Mary Gore are a solidly respectable couple leading happy though somewhat hum-drum lives in 1960s England.  Then they begin to notice something odd about their 11 year old adopted son, Matthew.  He's carrying on conversations with an invisible unhearable someone he calls Chocky, and it's leading him to ask unusual questions and display knowledge of matters well beyond the ken of normal children  his age.  Chocky's presence in the Gore household becomes awkward and eventually rather alarming, and eventually John is forced to confront him/her/it and learn the truth about his son's companion.This is a pleasant little tale in which the  truth about Chocky is revealed only gradually, allowing the reader plenty of time to speculate for himself.  John Wyndham was a well-regarded British science fiction writer in the 1950s and 1960s, with his most well known works being The Day of the Triffids, The Midwich Cuckoos, and The Chrysalids.  Chocky was his final book, published in 1968 a year before his death.

    Everyday family's brush with stardust
  

*by P***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 5, 2016*

Read all about it, but didn't know what I was in for. So glad I got this book as part of my new discovery of John Wyndham. It's so intelligent and clever and intricately explored. The humour is sharp too especially when Mr Gore puts a sneering sister-in-law in her place by coolly leading her into a logic trap, way before Ali G. How his daughter Polly's invisible Piff impacted on the family and her applied wisdom via the adventures of "Twinklehooves", her latest book. The dry and sly way people in a kindly family poke fun at each other. Wyndham's observations of what it is to be a child growing up touched me, as well as the father's grasp of what the family needed at times of great tension, insights into other people's agendas, the comparison between his and his wife's sense of self. People just getting along with each other was a peep into a private, regular family world. They're still around but eclipsed by today's mediated extravaganza of living. It's like: Everyday Family's Brush with Stardust, but as down-to-earth, clever and well realised as can be. I couldn't put it down.
