The Chrysalids is a fictional novel written by John Wyndham. The Chrysalids is a very well formatted book. The author’s intensions of this book were to show that there are struggles that happen in everyday life. He shows that when people have a certain view, they have one-track minds, and sometimes never change their views on that view. It has an informative beginning, suspensful middle and end that ensures the reader of what happens in the future without actually writing it.
The beginning of the book was exactly what was needed for it to set the ground works for the rest of the book. In the beginning we learnt whom the main characters where and very quickly we were told what type of a society Waknuk and the surrounding areas were. It was smart by the author to make some type of controversy very early in the book like he did. For example when he had David meet Sophie and have him figure out that she is a blasphemy.
The end of the Chrysalids is also very good because it answers any quesitons the reader might have and also has some action and suspense mixed in with it. After David’s little sister, Petra, makes contact with the Sealand people, I couldn’t put the book down. Each page made me want to read the next, because there were so many different solutions that I could think of and I wanted to find out how the book ended.
The Chrysalids is a very well written book and I would recommend any one of all ages to read this book. It has a very good plot as I have explained and it is one of those books that you just want to keep reading and never stop. The Chrysalids is a book that could give hope to some people. People could relate to this book in how they are treated because they are different, and this book has showed that there is a happy ending for everyone, as long as they make the right decisions.
