Man I loved Wyndham as a kid. Chrysalids was the first novel I read that really stuck it to religious fundamentalists, which was pretty eye-opening growing up in a Catholic house. Sucks that some of his writing hasn’t held up, but it’s to be expected I guess.
The 90s adaptation of Midwich Cuckoos with Allie and Reeve is one of the worst adaptations I’ve seen. Having one of the kids be different and worth saving misses the point of the whole damn novel.
