Bird Box: Fantastic Thriller

This book is a true thriller: filled with suspense and stress over the characters. Fairly short at only 260 pages, the fast pace and intense moments make for a quick read. The ending felt a little rushed but other than that it good. Although there is a movie, the two are absolutely nothing alike and I would encourage people to view them as two separate entities.

Enjoyable

I didn't love it as much as I'd hoped to, but I was still quite pleased by this book. It was haunting and I found myself genuinely scared for the people in this book. I'm glad I read this.

Bird box was one of the best books I’ve read in a long time

I finished it in four hours and let me tell you, I was not disappointed. The characters came to life and I was living their lives and experience if their fears and losses. It was truly a great book.

It was ok

The book was good, but it’s the first time I have ever said I actually liked the movie better than the book.

Scary.

Gives meaning to "Fear the unknown" to say the least.
