Chocky
A Science Fiction, Classics, Fiction book. . . . ? , , . . ,...
Matthew's parents are worried. At eleven, he's much too old to have an imaginary friend, yet they find him talking to and arguing with a presence that even he admits is not physically there. This presence - Chocky - causes Matthew to ask difficult questions and say startling things: he speaks of complex mathematics and mocks human progress. Then, when Matthew does something incredible, it seems there is more than the imaginary about Chocky. Which is when others become interested and ask questions of their own: who is Chocky? And what could it want with an eleven-year-old boy?

More About Chocky
. . . ? , , . . , , , . , . John Wyndham, Chocky // Your Tim is so unmistakably a healthy extravert type. Mens stulta in corpore sano, and all that.Exactly, she agreed. John Wyndham, Chocky // Babies, in a world that already has far too many, remain desirable. John Wyndham, Chocky //
Following the publication of 1960's "Trouble With Lichen," fans of the hugely popular English sci-fi writer John Wyndham would have to wait a good solid eight years for his next novel to be released. During that time, the author limited himself to the shorter form, coming out with 10 stories. One of those short stories was "Chocky,"... I ordered this after some list or other pimped it as a book you could read in a breeze. I got an old hardback whose 182 pages were dappled with ancient coffee or blood and smelled strongly of a mildewed cellar. Like a visitor from another world! But the story was charming and I liked the style, and indeed I finished it off swiftly.... A fun read. Recommended for Sci-Fi starters.
