The story is about the birds are thousands they want to kill and to eat ... i like this story because is interesting.

I like the book because it's a horror and i like the horror. In the same time i dont like because it's painfull about the life and other people are so dangerous. (

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. (

A farmer lived near the sea with his family.He liked watching birds in the beach.One winter,there were much more birds than usual and they made noises.And they started attacking people.Now the bird was dangerous animal.
So scary story.There is fear of death close to ordinary life. (
