Someone very dear to her, someone she believed dead, may be alive. And with it, the first time Malorie has allowed herself to hope. AND DON’T LOOK.īut then comes what feels like impossible news. No solution.Īll Malorie can do is survive-and impart her fierce will to do so on her children. One glimpse of the creatures that stalk the world will drive a person to unspeakable violence. Still, a good read.įrom Goodreads: Twelve years after Malorie and her children rowed up the river to safety, a blindfold is still the only thing that stands between sanity and madness. This one focuses more on the character’s emotions as they come of age in the ‘new’ world and the specific challenges that presents, which isn’t a bad thing, but it does put a minor damper on the horror. That said, this sequel really can’t compete with the near perfection of the original. Regardless, danger and mayhem and horror ensue, culminating in a satisfying ending. I understand that a conflict was needed to raise the stakes and force the characters into action, but the decision seems completely unlikely given the Malorie readers have come to know. Time skips ahead and suddenly the kids are teenagers and they’ve been living the last decade in relative safety – but has their lifestyle really been what a teenager would call living?įinally, something happens that spurs Malorie into action, luring her and her kids away from the protection of their home. It starts out with a bang then calms down. The sequel, Malorie….well, I wasn’t sure what it was, at first.
Bird Box was the kind of fast paced, heart pounding, white knuckled ride to horror town that’s impossible to put down.
