We're on a Wyndham mission in our house at the moment - Joe picked up a bunch of great 70s Penguin editions in the charity shop, and I started off with this one, realising I'd never read it before (you kind of expect to have already done so, because of its being so well known). One of the things I'd say was most interesting about it is that on one level it's a novel about the media - about how incidents are reported and how the public respond to them. The hero and heroine are broadcast journalists, so we're pulled into sharing their concerns not only with what happens but how it's then covered - or not covered, ignored, exaggerated, underestimated, etc. This adds a kind of weird moral ambiguity to the story, as we're encouraged to sympathise with these two characters (and they are presented as the best kind of 1950s morally upstanding British journalists), but also to be aware that they're not just engaged in reporting 'the truth'; it's very clear that they have a very particular angle, and that, towards the end of the book, they're concerned with pacifying the public as much as anything else. Aside from that, it's just a cracking good read, and written in that enviable Wyndham style where everyone talks in proper sentences and drinks sherry while discussing underwater atom bombs.The scene where the things first come out of the sea is proper nasty, too.
