adventurous dark medium-paced

4.0

A classic, indeed! Meditating upon environmental disaster and outdated toxic religious dogma, this novel still finds relevancy in our modern struggles today. While "The Day of the Triffids" made John Wyndham an author, this novel truly demonstrates his range and skill as a writer, creating a harrowing dystopia that doesn't feel so far away in 2023.
