The Midwich Cuckoos by John Wyndham
3.0

Not my favorite Wyndham (The Day of the Triffids still holds that title) but overall it was a good novel. I think if I didn't already know the story it would have been more impactful and engaging. As it was, I knew going in what had happened to the women of Midwich. Also, this story felt slow and like it dragged. For a book that spans years and is only 200ish pages, I expected for it to not be such a slog. Anyway, I'm glad I read it and Wyndham is, as is often the case, still a delight on the page.
