![]() Most people ignored the outrageous reports on the news. But they became too frequent, they became too real. And soon, they began happening down the street. Then the Internet died. The television and radio went silent. The phones stopped ringing. And we couldn't look outside anymore. Malorie raises the children the only way she can; indoors. The house is quiet. The doors are locked, the curtains are closed, mattresses are nailed over the windows. They are out there. She might let them in. The children sleep in the bedroom across the hall. Soon she will have to wake them. Soon she will have to blindfold them. Today they must leave the house. Today they will risk everything. |

I've managed to remember to charge my kindle long enough to finish it. I enjoyed this a lot. It was really suspenseful. I had been getting tired of novels that jump backward and forward in time, but it was perfectly executed here. Once it gets going, both parts of the story are nearly equally tense. The narrator changes a lot between the two times in her life that the story focuses on, and trying to figure out what happened to cause that had me gripped from the beginning. It reminded me a lot of The Walking Dead, so I think any fans of that show will like this. |

I really want to read this. I think the person who wrote Arrival wrote a screenplay of this. So, when the movie comes out I'll see that too. The creatures sound Lovecraftian to me, if they inspire people to go insane just by looking at them. Such a great premise. |

A movie adaptation would be interesting, since so much of the book is about not being able to see what is going on. |
