Bird Box - book review

Recently finished a book ‘Bird Box’  by Josh Malerman.

Later I discovered that its been converted into netflix movie too starring Sandra Bullock.
The book can be described in 1 word as ‘creepsville’. It is incredibly engaging, horror/psycho suspense novel which takes post-apocalyptic theories to next level.

I do not want to disclose whats so scary about it but imagine a world in which you are constantly threatened and you need to train yourself to defend without seeing what are you fighting against.

On my first day of reading rather on first night, had to shut off after few pages as i was s***t scared to read further. On 2nd night I progressed with more chapters but when i woke up in the morning.. the first thought that crossed my mind was not to open my eyes.

The whole story and its climax leaves many open questions and perpetual desire for more answers. But it still succeeded in keeping me fully engaged till the last chapter.

To sum it up, its an extremely interesting, unsettling, fast paced read that will keep you on the edge.

Do let me know if you have also read this book or watched the Netflix version and how did you find it.
