"Anyone starting this book under the impression that he may sleepily relax is in for a shock...continually provokes both pity and terror." â??The Observer (UK)

A classic of alienation and horror, The Birds was immortalised by Hitchcock in his celebrated film.

A famous film, directed by the great Alfred Hitchcock, was based on this short story. It's a very simple idea - for some reason, birds begin to attack humans. Very little is explained, which is something I liked about it - I was still thinking about the book long after I finished reading it.
It is scary, and in places quite gory, so if you don't like horror stories avoid this book. ( )

I actually didnt like this book. I found it strange, boring, and somewhat predictable. However, I did like the movie, way more then the book. The story line of the movie was much more intresting and in depth. ( )
