We quite liked the book, stylistically--it's lean, without a lot of world or character building. For those of us tired of the word-bloat that frequently infects modern genre lit, this was a definite positive. We also praised the creepy effectiveness (effective creepiness?) of a few different passages.
While "Bird Box" doesn't feel derivative, we wound up comparing it to a lot of other horror/insanity/neurohacking/apocalyptic what-have-you (whew!) so expect lots of referenced works, and probably SPOILERS BELOW:
