This is a GOOD killer plant book

After the disappointment that was "The Plants" I was itching to read a boook that actually had oodles of actual killer plant activity. On that front this book delivers. Also what I think works in its favor is that it is a small story focusing mostly on a few people (1 family and a husband and wife) on a tiny island. Occassionally it shifts to events taking place in Russia where the plants first started and briefly to the ship containing a plant heading close to the island. Despite this setting much plant action is crammed into the story, and so while most of the victims are only in a small village in Russia, the story never ceases to be dull or boring and I didn't find myself wishing there were more deaths or for a large-scale world-threatenning invasion. It's a small setting with only a few characters that works and is much better than the groan-inducer that was "The Plants".
