The Day Of The Triffids: Classic Radio Sci-fi Audiobook

" This is one of my all time favourite books; it's such a favourite I struggle to put into words why I love this tale of the characters battling against evil plants, but hey - who couldn't love a book where the only safe place to live is the Isle of Wight? "

" This was fun! And actually fairly tense, for a zombie-apocalypse-survival novel where the "zombies" are just plants. "

" John should have made this book about 5 times longer; I never wanted to put it down. "

" Wyndham's ability to transport to a post-apocalyptic setting, convince one of the dangers of mutant foliage, and generally scare the bejesus out of one's mind was why I failed to sleep or eat when I read this book. One of my first Sci-Fi novels and a treasure. "

" One of the best science-fiction novels I've ever read. It's got the one thing that makes these kind of novels worthwhile: it's plausible. It's also amazingly catchy, gets the most out of the language and depicts human nature very accurately. "

" Fourth time I've read it and I'll be back again. My favourite post-apocalyptic novel, bar none! "

" Classic post-apocalyptic alien invasion survival style story. "

" Good fall of civilization classic sci-fi novel. The ending is rushed, but most of the book (though short) has great plot development and a few interesting characters. "

" Definately one of those 'must read''s you hear about. It was so absorbing I forgot to do anything else for a couple of evenings. "

" This is one of those wonderful books that I keep going back to. In many ways it seems a bit dated now, but in its concept it is not. Great televisation of it done in the 1970s/early 80s, but the recent one was garbage, so don't wst your time watching it. Read the book, it is far, far better. "

" This book is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! When I picked it up I could NOT put it down! It makes you think about realistic events that could come to pass. Wyndham has written it superbly and I thought it was a real thought-provoking book. "

" I gave this book 5 starts not because the writing was especially good...but because the story is so believable and scary! Gripping! "

" I first read this in high school and was blown away. Many years later, I tracked down the same copy through eBay - somewhat worse for wear unfortunately. This is a true classic. Whoever that teacher was who made me read it, thank you! "

" Realy great adventure book and it makes you think about if this realy happened to you. "

" I've read this book twice and it won't be the last time. Classic apocalyptic tale that grips you early on and won't let go. "

" read at school many years ago ... still a great story. "

" I read this as a little kid and it creeped me out to no end! See also: the radio play. "

" My favourite Wyndham so far "

" Kind of oldschool sci-fi weird story, still quiet interesting and intriguing "

" cant beleive how good this one, i wasnt even sure if i would enjoy it but it was really really good! "

" This is one of those wonderful books that I keep going back to. In many ways it seems a bit dated now, but in its concept it is not. Great televisation of it done in the 1970s/early 80s, but the recent one was garbage, so don't wst your time watching it. Read the book, it is far, far better. "

" This book paints a terrible future to the finest detail. Perhaps dull in places but a hearty read. "

" obligatory extra star for post-apocalyptic scenario. "

" This has always been a powerful book about the end of us, the rise of other species and heroes, a deeply effecting novel that still feels real even 60 years later. The shame is how b movie adaptaions and cable have diluted to public rerception "

" Výborná kniha, ale už je to pár let, co jsem ji cetl. "

" An interesting and creativing sci fi novel that could be written for todays big screen - at the same time it reminds you of the old B movies of your childhood. "

" The plot was much more complex, and the social commentary was much more interesting, than I had remembered. I think John Wyndham's best book. "
