This book deserved a five star rating because it made me laugh out loud so often. It was a brilliant book and I loved Blacker's use of narrative voice. It is a multiple first person narrative which allows the reader a close and personal account of the characters feelings and emotions, this is particular interesting as there is a mixture of both adult and child characters. The book gives the reader a wonderful insight into gender and demonstrates the way in which gender is socially constructed. It also shows how children can be attracted to other children regardless of gender. As a whole, children are influenced by other children, by characteristics, by confidence and by personality. Children are often put into boxes and treated differently because of gender, this book breaks the rules and it genius. I would highly recommend this book to both adults and children as it may just demonstrate how alike we all are and how society is often too eager to put us into groups.

So I am very late into the game of watching this film and honestly, I'm so glad I did!

This film was not at all what I expecting.

Firstly, the whole film has only two short scenes of actual dialogue.

The film centres around a couple and their kids trying to survive in a post apocalyptic world with creatures that will eat you if you make a sound.

The creatures are blind but have supersonic hearing so will hear the littlest of sounds, even from very far away, and will devour anything in their path.

Even with the lack of dialogue, the film hits a very emotional punch, but honestly, the film doesn't need any dialogue as it already portrays the perfect atmosphere without them.

The family communicate through sign language, something I assume they knew post apocalypse, as their daughter is deaf.

Everyone in the film plays such great parts and conveys such raw emotions.

If you are a horror or even a thriller fan, I HIGHLY recommend this film.
