The Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham

2.75

dark informative reflective slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Plot

Strong character development: No

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Very 1950's view points in this one that did not age so great. Otherwise it's not a bad book, but it's not the exciting 'humanity against the invaders' action piece it might've been, but rather a 200+ page repetitive sermon on chaos vs order, the human condition, and pointing fingers at satellites. Could've used a lot more plant warfare.
