ericarobyn 's review for:
Bird Box
by Josh Malerman
I really enjoyed this book! It was wonderfully creepy from cover to cover. This book made me feel anxious (in a good way) that only a good horror story can do. I couldn't put it down. I really enjoyed the organization of the chapters that switched back from past to present, showing us more and more about the world they were in.
My only complaint is that the author used the same wording to describe pain the main character was feeling THREE times. I don't want to spoil, so I will just say that the wording he used really only made sense for one of the situations. The other two could have made sense if he added a "...since (the last time this wording was used)."
My favorite passages:
A grisly story, but one whose notoriety Malorie attributes to the seemingly senseless way the Internet has of making random occurrences famous.
That sounds like a lot of time, but it passes quickly in here. The days begin to mush together. That's why we started keeping the calendar on the wall in the living room. You know, in a way, time doesn't mean a thing anymore. But it's one of the only things we have that resembles the lives we used to live.
