The Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham

Okay, this is basically just a rough idea of what a bookpost could look like. I’m assuming we’ll decide some guidelines or such in school.

Day of the Triffids is a book about blindness, human-eating monsters and the weakness of the human race. The book was written a while back and I consider it a long way ahead of its own time. It has a very futuristic theme, which for any sci-filover is very readable. And if you’re not into that genre, this book might be a good one to read if you want to get hooked.

The book begins with letting us know that all people in Britain who have been observing a meteor shower, have fallen blind.  Only a few lucky individuals, which did not watch the happening, got to keep their eyesight. One of these is our main character Bill Masen.  We follow him as he observes London and what happens to it and its inhabitants when the ability to see is lost.  It’s basically chaos, and some stronger individuals capture and take advantage of weak people with eyesight.
After some time, the few who are not blind in London organize themselves into a group and leave the city.  We follow them on their trip, fighting murderous triffids and other groups of people.

It’s a very interesting book which is not too long or too difficult to read. And the fact that it was a school related book, which several of us still managed to read and enjoy, says a lot
Just do it
