There are a few flaws with "Bird Box". Some of the chapters drag here and there, and the going back and forth to the present, past, and recent past didn't always work. But the book as a whole really works. The book begins with a young woman being worried about what is outside the windows that she ...
Although the premise was interesting, this little horror story simply failed to live up to its potential. Neither the writing nor the plot were compelling enough to overcome the annoying present tense stylings and awkward nonlinear jumps through the timeline. In a story where the characters spend mo...
Bird Box tells the story of Malorie, who is locked up with her children in a boarded up house. She can only go out blindfolded, because something is lurking out there. Something which makes people hurt themself and others, whenever they catch a glimpse of it. This is the main premise of the book: ...
Better late than never on this one ... A perfect example of a 3.5 star read for me in that I was engaged in this different form of an apocalypse and enjoyed Malerman's efforts to make the reader experience what was befalling his characters without the benefit of their eyesight, but at the same tim...
I started reading this book somewhere between 5:30 and 5:45. It is now 8:30 and I am finished. So I read this entire book in about 3 hours. That alone should tell you how amazing it is. Bird Box takes place in a world where an unseen threat has pretty much taken out humanity. The threat is unseen...
Where do I even begin...this book was fantastic and the audio was like the icing on the cake! I haven't had much luck with "endings" lately but even the ending of this book, suited the story perfectly. It was great! But let me backup... BirdBox is horror/dystopian book. Something outside is causin...
I genuinely enjoyed this. It wasn't scary though. The concept of the story is scary as hell (I certainly would never last in this world), but the execution of it just wasn't. It didn't ruin it though. It's a story of survival with a unique plot. There is a lot of switching from past to present, whic...
It made me not want to get out of bed to go to the bathroom! Very smart playing the fear of what you can't see instead of what you can see... Quick, easy and very enjoyable read.
Something is out there, something terrifying that must not be seen. One glimpse of it, and a person is driven to deadly violence. No one knows what it is or where it came from. Five years after it began, a handful of scattered survivors remains, including Malorie and her two young children. Living i...
Well I have mixed feelings about it. Firstly I liked the idea of this book, mystery and atmosphere that it created. However at times it felt too rushed (like in the ending), sometimes I was bored (somewhere in the middle). There were so much, that could have been done to this book, instead it provid...
