I wanted to like this book more but it was hard to stay in it. Well written but it was a little drawn out for me.

I finished it in around 24 hours. I genuinely didn't think I'd like it, but the concept and children had me on edge.

This really had me on the edge of my seat, and it's so courageous that someone thought to make a movie about a book where everyone is covering their eyes! Very creepy. I did wonder about some of the pregnancy-related facts though. Those bits seemed less plausible. Definitely extremely heckin gory though.
