Shouldn't have let myself be fooled by this book's length. I thought I'd be clever and start the year off with a fast and easy read. which one is more likely to thrive and give raise to a new generation and better results? but towards the end the path forward for humanity is forked into two ways. for a few years people group in settlements and manage a life of hard work and fighting off the triffids. the few survivors not only have the onus to take care of these blind but also should navigate a world that is festering with "strange" plants named Triffids which are murderous and have all the time to wait for their prey. Imagine the likelihood of escaping such agents of murder - more potent than any biological weapon or virus - should they ever be released into our sphere.Ī supernatural event turns most of the humans blind. which evolve with experience and can grow in any soil, climate. it has created some very memorable carnivorous "plants" Triffids which debilitate their prey(humans) by injecting poison and then feeding on their flesh. I cannot think of a higher compliment to pay to this classic science fiction novel. which I am sure would be highly inconvenient and not just for me. Perhaps I am going to imagine interceptions with imaginary Triffids each time I do. This book is scary enough to make me weary and fear before stepping out of my house next time. #books #reviews #scifi #classics #postapocalyptic #dystopian
