Chocky by John Wyndham
4.0
I always enjoy Wyndham's fiction, and I enjoyed this short novel, too, but not as much as I expected to. The premise is great: a mysterious entity "Chocky" has been speaking to a little boy, and the parents, who first think it is a childish imaginary friend, increasingly become concerned it may be something more.
The story progressed mostly as expected, but the reveal and the ending were quite a disappointment. If you want to read Wyndham, start with "Day of the Triffids" and a few others, and only read this one if you like his other stuff.
