Book Reviews of The Night of the Triffids
Book Review: Excellent read, well written and fast paced
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved the original "Day of..." having read it many times, I would go as far to say its my favourite book. I've always hoped someone would write something else in the "Triffid" universe and thankfully Simon Clark has come through.Don't be put off by the "oh its not John wyndam" etc etc posts, this really is a good read, the characters are developed well and you get that sense of discovering "alternate societies" that I liked from the original.
I enjoyed the fact that Simon Clark has stuck with the same style of writing as Wyndam, one reviewer commented on the the lack of swearing being unrealistic, I just saw it as a continuation of the original style which was very old world IMHO.
Overall I would thoroughly recommend this book to any fan of the original and I hope that Simon Clark continues to write more novels in the Triffid universe!
Summary of The Night of the Triffids
At the end of The Day of the Triffids, the hero, Bill Masen, his wife, and four-year-old son leave the British mainland to join a new colony on the Isle of Wight. The Night of the Triffids takes up the story 25 years later. David Masen, the now grown-up son of Bill, is a pilot, still searching for a method of destroying the implacable triffid plant as it continues its worldwide march, seemingly intent on wiping out humankind. David eventually manages to reach New York, where a very different sort of colony has been set up, a colony whose members seem to be immune to the triffid string and where David comes face to face with an old enemy from his father's past.
