Hooked on Books

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 causing everyone to go crazy & suicidal. As a result, the world as we know it breaks down & only a few people remain as survivors. The story follows those people's lives through this catastrophe & you see what they go through to survive.

This was hands down my most favorite horror/dystopian book. Malerman nailed every aspect of it from beginning to end, from characters to narrator etc. The way he uses certain elements like dogs, birds, blindfolds, voices etc. to ratchet up your anxiety is nothing short of amazing. If I could have given this book 6 stars I would have. It's a definite must-read! This is one of those books though that you really need to listen to the audio to get the full experience. The narrator's voice for Mallory, one of the main characters, is perfect. She really grasps who she is as a person. It's exactly what I would expect her to sound like. I definitely recommend listening to the audio version.
