Matthew is a normal eleven year old boy living with his parents and little sister in Surrey. He's too old and sensible to have an imaginary friend really. Yet when Matthew's parents keep finding him talking and arguing with a strange presence whom Matthew calls Chocky, that's what they believe it must be . . . . at first. But Chocky is oddly sinister, and keeps asking Matthew all sorts of complicated questions about the world and making him behave in unusual and erratic ways. Then Matthew suddenly does something heroic, well beyond his capabilities; the media become interested and the interest in Matthew widens. His parents refer him to a psychologist. Who is Chocky? And what could he or she want with their son?©1968 John Wyndham Fantasy Fiction First Contact Science Fiction Space Exploration Interstellar

I was never bored when reading this book. I loved the story. Not only was it an interesting story but it was also an interesting look at society from more than 50 years ago, especially how they treated children.

Interesting. Humbling. Hopeful.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Chocky. Because she's Chocky.

The little sister. Very funny segues about her pony.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes. And I did, but I have listened a number of times.

Any additional comments?

John Wyndham novels tend to be thought-provoking. With Daniel Weyman, it's just like having a really smart friend around all the time who wants to read you a story. THE BEST of everything right there - a good story and a good narrator, and you get to have a good think too.

Thought provoking and well read
