The first half of this book is basically set in a car, the family on a strange road trip headed for Scotland. This is a glorious slow burn that somehow is also incredibly fast paced. Will the family survive? Or will these creatures catch up to them? Alright, let’s dive into the book first – THERE WILL BE FULL SPOILERS FOR BOTH THE MOVIE AND THE BOOK SO HEEEEEEED MY WARNING…. Luckily, Ally is living in a life of silence and her family are all fluent in sign language. BUT – these bat like creatures are much like bats in that they can’t see, only hear. They pack up the family and their friend Glenn and drive in the hopes they can escape the incoming hoard of ravenous beasts. In England, Ally and her family are watching this happen and decide it’s a good time to run to somewhere safe. Soon these creatures fly across Europe, expanding like crazy, killing everyone and everything in their path. But something goes wrong and bat-like creatures fly out of the cave killing everyone around them. One night she sees on TV a live stream on the Discovery Channel of a cave being explored. In England a young teen named Ally is deaf after a childhood car accident. I recently read the book, and now I’ve watched the movie. It’s based on the 2015 novel by the same name written by Tim Lebbon. In 2019 a movie dropped to Netflix with not much fanfare, The Silence.
