I love apocalyptic fiction. This was fantastic! Scientists unwittingly release a plague of white bats on the world who hunt by noise. Horrible stuff! But not as horrible as many of the humans behaviour. How quickly they turn on each other.
I didn‘t like the ending.

Suspenseful and thrilling from the very start. It felt at times that the author was adding content simply for the shock value but one scene in particular definitely got me ugly crying.

I've been listening to this while walking the dog and it genuinely made me walk a little extra, so the dog liked it too!
It's a different take on the end of humanity, avoiding political actions or climate change, and it's a small scale survival in a huge scale event.
It's definitely worth picking up. It threatens to drag at times, but it's easy to come back to.

So, this is actually film vs film ranting. But I've seen so many things really slating the film in comparison to A Quiet Place and also claiming it copied it. However, this book was written before A Quiet Place which, other than hiring an actual deaf actor, was pretty forgettable. There's no real back story, no real progression for me. I'm not saying The Silence is a masterpeice, but I do feel critics are over-harsh. #hiredeafactors

So, I get films changing a lot of a books content in order to squeeze it into their time frame. But I always mourn when they change a location. Even more so when I learn the original is in WALES. Welsh accents are a gift from the Old Gods. But no, if American's make it, it HAS to be American. How else would their audience understand it or even want to see it??? Booooooo. Netflix, Amazon, Sky, someone make the Welsh series. And have a deaf actor?

Avanders @Bklover wow I super thought I‘d responded to this already. So sorry to hear about *not being able to walk. 😟 Hope you have a quick and painless recovery! Also, next round, you and I can swap places (or whatever else the group decides), as I won‘t be able to do it past this round for a while. It all works out 😉 Best of luck with the surgery! ♥️♥️♥️ (edited) 4y
Bklover @MaleficentBookDragon @Avanders Thank you!! I‘m having surgery on both feet at the same time which I am finding out is incredibly inconvenient! I‘ll be ready to hop back in next round! 4y

MaleficentBookDragon @wanderinglynn exactly! Finally, someone who understands. 😅🤤 4y
Hooked_on_books Your cup looks a little squished but I know it still tastes great! I have to say, I like the holiday (originally just eggs) version even better. Like @wanderinglynn says, something about the ratio. 🍫🥜 4y

Was it small? There was a small hole in the box (really makes you wonder what the PO does with these boxes...) 🥺 4y
BethM Right? Does make you wonder. Hmmm I wonder if I never put it in, and if I didn‘t where the heck it is now 😂 The candies are pecan pie m&ms. Also weird the bag split. 4y

Really enjoyed this book. There was a lot of suspense as the family try to escape the monsters Lebbon had kept it realistic with no heroics. I was constantly thinking what would I do? I felt the panic & fear as I was reading, it kept me glued to the story. Now to watch the Netflix film to see the adaptation of a British story

This book made me ugly cry on the train home, thank goodness for sunglasses. Spoiler comment added in case you need to check what you might face when reading this; it won't spoil the book.

This is a heart racing apocalyptic horror, it's sooo good.

4/5 I picked this up after seeing it's movie be called a knock off of a quiet place, even though the book came out first. It's almost like everythibg the Quiet Place was missing, complete build up to an apocalyptic situation, told through the eyes of a family with a deaf child. The authors use of social media was well done, and it made for an incredibly visceral and interesting story of the fall of society. #scifi #horror

I‘m not sure I would have finished this if it weren‘t for book club #TeamHellboundHeart even though I‘d been curious about it for years. I liked the real-time unfolding of the apocalypse and picturing what a vesp might look like. I wasn‘t keen on the lack of character development and the formulaic plot.
