Teaser Tuesdays - The Chrysalids
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading .
'I didn't know,' I told her. 'I'd no idea she was one of us.'
Rosalind put her hands to her face, finger-tips on her temples. She shook her head slightly and looked at me from disturbed eyes.
'She isn't,' she said. 'Something like us, but not one of us. None of us could command like that. She's something much more than we are.'
The Chyrsalids by John Wyndham, page 76
I think I might find this book too scary (from what I have heard of it previously).

Oooh I've never read any John Wyndham! Sounds a bit too scary for my sensitive soul!

ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read your review of this, last year I read The Day of the Triffids which I loved. Really interested in what else of Wyndham's to try.
ReplyDeletegreat choice... think I just got a bit goose pimply! Mines not nearly as scary. Think I got a bit carried away with the teaser bit. Its a bit of a sexy sounding one... Have a look!
