"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."

Wishing you a great day & lots of presents :) Happy Birthday!

After such a long stay in the dark of the drawer upstair, today your present was finally opened.
What a nice surprise, to find a wishlist 1001-book! Thank you very much, I look forward to reading it!

Sleepy Midwich most certainly is, untill the Dayout happens.
A pleasant book, interesting in its description of how a community handles an event like this.
Different people acting differently, but as a whole, the community holds together.

The ending is not a surprise, but not a disappointment either.

I liked the book and am happy I've ticked off another one from the 1001-list :-)

As a birthday present for Oppem's 2016 Birthday RABCK group, this book now on its way to....

Happy Birthday!
