Bird Box

                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 in an abandoned house near the river, she has dreamed of fleeing to a place where they might be safe. Now that the boy and girl are four, it's time to go, but the journey ahead will be terrifying: twenty miles downriver in a rowboat—blindfolded—with nothing to rely on but her wits and the children's trained ears. One wrong choice and they will die. Something is following them all the while, but is it man, animal, or monster?

My Thoughts: This book was a fast and enthralling read. I was pulled in from the first chapter. I enjoyed the way it switched from past to present, building the story and progressing at the same time. I wished I did not have to put it down and would have finished it sooner if I did not have to work. I am now going to watch the Netflix Movie, I hope it is as good but I know as most the book is always better.
