Review: Vox by Christina Dalcher

I was so glad to be part of this Vox Blogger day, it was such a great read, definitely one I'l recommend to whoever will listen to me.

Here it is:

Set in an America where half the population has been silenced, VOX is the harrowing, unforgettable story of what one woman will do to protect herself and her daughter.

On the day the government decrees that women are no longer allowed more than 100 words daily, Dr. Jean McClellan is in denial--this can't happen here. Not in America. Not to her.

This is just the beginning.

Soon women can no longer hold jobs. Girls are no longer taught to read or write. Females no longer have a voice. Before, the average person spoke sixteen thousand words a day, but now women only have one hundred to make themselves heard.

But this is not the end. 

For herself, her daughter, and every woman silenced, Jean will reclaim her voice.

I'm going to make this a short and sweet review, as in this book women are, after all, only allowed 100 words. This will be more than that, but shorter than my usual ramblings in honour of the plot.

One word sums up this book: wow. It is is a chilling concept, and a book that keeps you on your toes until the end trying to guess what will happen. It really is terrifying to think that something like this could actually come to pass if people aren't careful.

Character wise - I think I have a new favourite "villian" in Reverend Carl - he is a horrible human and you really learnt to hate him while reading - though Morgan was a close second.

Just, to be quick, I blew through this book because it was so spectacular, and I just want more - I want to know what happened after the end of the book, and I just want more books like it.

I give this: 5 cats.

Have you read this book? If not, it's out now and I highly suggest you go and grab a copy! Comment below with your thoughts.
