At our February 9th, 2016 Book Discussion meeting, nine of our club members and/or
associates discussed the classic 1955 John Wyndham science fiction novel, "The Chrysalids".
If you're a Star Base Andromeda

anyone else who drops in. As part of your comments, please give "The Chrysalids"

for local members and associates who participated in the original
discussion or were unable to attend the discussion due to
scheduling issues, we would be curious to see how your opinion
compares to ours!

I did like the story and concept....but long paragraphs of thought conversations for philosophisizing and back story made it a slog at points. I'm going with "6."
After borrowing a copy of "The Chyrsalids" to read, SBA associate Clif Bridges indicated he really liked this particular book, and gives it a rating score of 9.
