Years removed from my initial watch of Bird Box (the film), I wanted to sit down and give this a try. I liked it, and I thought it was tense and so miserable in places that I had to take a breath to keep going, which is good! And in other places, I found myself struggling to not start skimming. It's good, but it definitely lags in the “past” timeline chapters, and I think that some of the emotional beats were a tad repetitive without adding too much new. Wouldn't read it again, but definitely better than the movie.
