so-soOverall, I enjoyed this SciFi/Thriller. I liked the Cold War undertones and the story. The o my downside was that it is a slow paced book and I did hit a slump towards the middle. Sometimes I felt the narration just went on to long. I enjoyed my first Wyndham novel and I'm looking forward to reading more of his books in the future. 3 out of 5.

Opening line: "I'm a reliable witness, you're a reliable witness, practically all God's children are reliable witnesses in their own estimation - which makes it funny how such different ideas of the same affair get about." #thekrakenwakes #johnwyndham #penguinbooks #penguinclassics #bookcover #firstline #bookgnome #bookish #book
Opening line: "Whem a day you happen to know is Wednesday starts off by sounding like Sunday, there is something seriously wrong somewhere." #thedayoftriffids #johnwyndham #penguinclassics #penguinbooks #book #bookgnome #firstline #bookcover #bookish
