Walter is 50% done

After about 50% of the book, The Day of the Triffids surprised me. I expected monsters, but found something more personal and unsettling. Humanity’s blindness makes fear immediate and practical. I’m less interested in the technical backstory, but the human reactions, choices, and shifting power feel very real. Calmly written, yet genuinely scary.
