Bird Box by Josh Malerman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow.

Loved it. This book delivered everything it promised me in the description. The author does a magnificent job of creating this world where you cannot look outside and getting the reader to experience said world.

I'm a fan of great opening lines in a story and this one sucked big time. BUT the rest of the chapter was one of the best and most engaging I have read in a long while. I was dropped into her world and after every paragraph, instead of answers, I had more questions. I couldn't wait to get all up into her business.

Knowing that the protagonist makes it, at least, to the present does not diminish any of the horrific events she had to go through to get here. I still felt the terror she felt of sensing something near her but not being able to take a peek. I kept telling her to "just take a little peek... with one eye." I would be sooo dead in this world. Give me zombies any day :D Which reminds me, I need to hasten my move to Idaho and start working on my bunker.

I am man enough to admit that the last chapter had me in tears(just don't tell my dad, he'll never let me live it down).

If you like psychological/creepy/horror tales, read this. If it's on your to-be-read list, move it up.
