Loved this story. Has inspired me to want to read more of Wyndham's works. Loved the characters, especially Coker, and Susan. Bill and Josella are engaging protagonists, and them trying their hardest to cope with survival, short and long term, as well as the threat of the triffids - is highly entertaining. While I wished more development into the different tribes was established (like Coker's original group, the military group with Torrence, Miss Durrant's religious group, etc) to further ground why Bill did or didn't agree with their views, this is still accomplished very well.

I enjoyed this book and plan to one day read The Chrysalids.
