I was a little hesitant to like Bird Box at first. I didn't understand why Malorie doesn't have names for her kids. Calling them "Boy" and "girl" got to me. But, as the story progressed, I found myself getting suck in more and more. This book is definitely creepy and big on tension. I liked how...
A remarkably different sort of post-apocalyptic novel, one that stems from Lovecraft's "the sight of which will drive men insane" riff in his Cthulhu Mythos tales.

Do you remember what outside looked like the last time you saw it? Did you really take it in? Did you pay attention to the colours of the clouds at sunset, the green of the grass, the colours of your neighbour’s cars? Did you notice the blankets over the windows of that house down the street?
