A review by chapter1_page1
The Box by Dan Malakin
4.0
⭐️ 4 ⭐️
A slow-burning, addictive read.
I thought the first few chapters were slightly slow-paced and it took me a while to get into, but once it really got going I was hooked and couldn’t put it down.
I particularly like Dan Malakin’s fluid writing style; I found it extremely easy to read and the short chapters heightened the feeling of tension and suspense. There’s also a gentle humour in the mix that helped lighten the mood.
The Box features diverse, relatable characters and the dialogue between them always feels authentic and believable.
The title is a little deceiving as the box doesn’t actually feature that much in the book. Overall, it’s a dark, atmospheric thriller that will keep you guessing right until the very end.
Many thanks to the publisher for my proof copy in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.
