Triffids Light It Up!
583421
Day of the Triffids kicks butt! Two weeks ago I had never heard of John Wyndham, but I found his name in [...] fiction archive, and I looked up his books here at Amazon.

The opening scene in Triffids is mesmerizing. The basic premise of the book is that a meteor shower blinds most of the world population, except for a handful of people. One of lucky ones is Bill Masen, who was in a hospital with bandages over his eyes and was not able to watch the meteor shower. Towards the end of the book, narrator Masen speculates that the meteor shower might have been caused by man-made satellites orbiting Earth, and indeed, the whole apocalyptic vision of the novel voices the concerns any sane human being would have had shortly after WWII and the discovery of the destructive power of atomic energy.

That said, the novel is not at all a doom and gloom book. It is actually quite hopeful, optimistic, and funny. There is a romantic subplot wherein Bill meets a charming woman named Josella Payton, only to be separated from her in the aftermath of the devastating meteor shower. A good part of the book follows Bill's search for Josella through various malevolent organizations that spring up in the months after the meteor shower.

Developing alongside this story line, is the story of the triffids, a kind of six-foot-tall Venus Flytrap with a stinging whip that has the ability to pick up its roots and walk around. In the wake of world blindness, these plants begin attacking people who stumble blindly around London and the English countryside outside of London.

The novel has a very solid ending that made me feel happy to have read the book. It was such a good story I'm going to see if I can get a copy of Wyndham's other classic bestseller, The Cuckoo's of Midwich. I highly recommend Day of the Triffids to any sci-fi fan, as well as to anyone who likes a good old-fashioned white-knuckle yarn. And, of course, I hope this review is helpful to you!

these are the coolest shoes that light up! They have 3 speeds. You can turn them off during the day, and when they need charging there is a connection port for charging. If you are walking on the street at night....you can see them from over 100 ft.distance. They are just fun and i'm happy i took the chance to give them a try! Fairly comfortable as well. I did buy some soft inserts for them.

I installed these three strips in minutes with no problems. They went up and lit up beautifully. There's only one problem: the lighting is so good that it shows evil things in my kitchen counter that did not show before! Great product, EShine! I love these lights.

I originally purchased just one of these lights to put on the shed. It lights up a great amount of area and the sensor is very sensitive. I was so impressed with it I purchased another two to light up the rest of the backyard! For the price (It's currently on sale for $16.99), you really can't beat this little light!

Very bright light! Use three of these to light up the yard and path to our pole barn. Works great! I would highly recommend these lights to anyone who needs the ease and convenience of some additional lights. Going to pick up some more for the dock area.

This thing is a BLAST in flashing mode - they'll see you a block away. It lights up the night.

I bought 3 sets of these wonderful solar lights. I use them in the backyard around several small trees and a bush. It brings a smile to my face every night I see them. After 2 months in the Florida heat and thunderstorms, they are still going strong!

WOW! I'm really glad that I bought these. I can't say enough good things about them. The high setting is bright enough to light my whole side yard. I bought three and am ready to buy more. I live in a semi-rural area and there are no lights but the stars! These are a fabulous invention!

Installed three 48ft led lights with a lutron Pico remote switch. Amazed at the warm glow light in the back yard for entertaining and zero flicker on lowest dim setting. Highly recommend this system. Quality,  price and functionality = a home run. Buy it! I rarely will wright a review, but these lights will make your backyard happy happy happy

Love these! I bought 3 of them but ended up only using 2 strings.  They are industrial size and are bright at night and really gives my backyard the ambiance of a beautiful relaxing backdrop.  It gives off a wonderful glow.  I highly recommend this product.

CON: It took my husband and I some
Time to hang them in the backyard. Hang them without the bulbs first to avoid any breakage of the bulbs.

I love these lights as do all my neighbors who compliment me on them all the time. I wrapped the lights around my plants and a plant hanger in my tiny garden that is right on the street more or less. Little children are mesmerized. I jave been so pleased!

Have tried several ways to light the path from my unattached garage to the house. Two of these do the job perfectly. Use the third to light a patio door when coming in from the lake. Could not believe how bright they are. Interested in seeing how they fair over the winter.

These are awesome! They are so bright! Don't let the small size fool you! I have these three plus another one in my front yard. I have a big U shaped drive way and I have one at each end above my front door and on my barn. They come on instantly and I want to say they come on when you are about 3 yards away from them. They stay on for about 30 seconds but that's all you really need to get inside when it's dark out.
