Summary: Leafy Frankenstein
Review: When Bill Masen awakens from his hospital bed to a world bereft of sight he is certain all is not as it should be. This is later confirmed by genetically altered, walking, carnivorous plants running amok throughout London, followed by the emergence of a mystery killer plague.This is a bleak, harrowing read with few moments of hope, heaps of dread and isolation, and a constant stream of terror. If the idea of walking killer plants doesn't sound overly engrossing and a bit too B-grade sci-fi, fair enough. However, it is an absorbing and frightful read. Frightful in that the situation doesn't seem too far away from what could happen. One reviewer described this book as humanity versus nature, which is one way of looking at it. I see it more as humanity at battle with itself. Humanity versus nature in our interference with it, but humanity struggling with itself, getting ahead of itself, the inability to cope with the monsters that we create.
