I've read this one. A friend gave it to me for Christmas. It was a little dated, to read it in 2005 I mean. But it wasn't bad and the triffids were a much more plausible harbinger of the apocalypse than the silly zombie. Speaking of which, I really found that the film "28 Days Later" had a lot of the same feel as Wyndham's book. Perhaps I was just projecting unto "Day of the Triffids" but despite the difference in era, the two works felt alike in a good way.
Anyway, not a bad book and a very quick read.

Someday. Someday. I'm still getting over the shock of having to carry a mobile phone.
