Unfortunately, the publisher has seen fit to edit out much of the color and detail that makes this such an entertaining read.In reading this, I'd come to a section where I was sure there was more, and when I compared the Kindle version to my 1983 Paperback UK Penguin edition, all too often I was correct.Quite frankly, it's like expecting Jolt Cola and getting Diet Pepsi , and I am sorely disappointed.That all said, this is still a good read, especially from a cultural anthropology viewpoint (the morals and mores of the late 1950s), but for $9.99 I expect to get the original and unexpurgated version as was originally written by John Wyndham.I love the Kindle, but you may wish to obtain the unabridged paperback version for the best experience (see attached photo for cover illustration of best [IMO] version). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Much More Cerebral Than I Expected *by G***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2019* I recall seeing the B&W film version as a kid on the channel 9 '4:30 Movie' as a pre-teen, living in NJ. All I remember is a bunch of tall plants pushing menacingly up against a fence, and the select few human survivors fighting them with steely-eyed, lantern-jawed precision - and flame throwers. Other than that, nothing sticks. So I decided to 'gamble the stamp' and throw caution to the wind, and purchased this pre-movie novel.And I was quite pleased that I did.Rather than an all-out, blow-by-blow apocalyptic 'thriller' - where everything gets 'blowed up real good', this is more a well-paced tale of a series of events that result in the systematic death of - I suppose - 99% of humanity. The book moves apace more through the existential and practical obstacles that must be carefully considered and rather quickly planned out and (hopefully) overcome. At times deeply introspective, at times a sociological study on what the masses would (or may) result to in such a calamitous, cataclysmic event - the various stumbling-blocks and untested troubles and the various character's willful innovations and make-do spur-of-the-moment striving and grasping for methods to survive are presented in realistic, hard-scrabble desperate fights against foes thus far unseen and unknown to mankind throughout history.... I can recommend this book - especially on Kindle (Great Price!).Now to hunt down the movie version and see how it measures up some 55 years after being made. ### ⭐⭐⭐ “I say, these plants are walking metaphors!” *by V***S on Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2021* Let me start by saying: I’ve heard of books being “dated” (which this is), but I had never heard of one being “too british”… But this book’s “britishness” almost made it unreadable for me. I actually had to call in John Gielgud for a narration assist on occasion. And this is the AMERICANIZED VERSION (yes, there are two versions), so you can just imagine. As for the story, it’s a bit “Last Man on Earth” meets “28 Days Later”. And it’s a pretty interesting and ok story, especially good for its time. It has quite a bit of symbolism and allusion - with the usual wisdom and warnings from its particular dystopian misadventure. Namely, don’t let the seeds of infiltration and corruption grow unchecked, lest you lose everything and become blind monsters yourself. (And PS: Stop messing with Mother Nature.
