A rare example of me seeing the movie adaptation before reading the book, despite being a fan of Tremblays mind.
I did really enjoy this, the premise is excellent, and characters complex enough to make it that extra bit believable. You can't help but wonder how you might respond in such an impossible scenario.
I will say however, that I didn't care for the narrator of this one. Her tone was a little grating and the voices for male dialogue almost comical. If you're intrigued to check this one out, go for the physical book.
