I did not think the world needed another Handmaid's Tale, but this is so much more than I imagined. Jean is such a wonderful, flawed character. Loved it!

Vox will make you annoyed that you have to go to work or even to sleep. It's un-put-downable, a book that makes you want to keep reading long after the reading light should be off. Comparisons to The Handmaid's Tale are inevitable, but Vox, though certainly influenced by it, isn't The Handmaid's Tale. It some ways, it's more frightening and the dystopian rule over women more insidious. The writing seems more immediate and intimate, as well, without the sense of distance from the story that The Handmaid's Tale often has. If you like the classic dystopian novel about the subjugation of woman in a future America, you'll like this one just as well. (I've already recommended it to my public library.)

I really enjoyed this book. I was glad to have the opportunity from NetGalley to be able to read it in advance.

VOX by Christina Dalcher had a lot of potential, a lot to think about however the story didn't seem to be believable. The premise behind the story had so many levels in which to explore which could have been better presented. Most of the book seemed to a tirade against the current state of politics. The characters didn't come across as real or even likeable. The story did move along quickly.
Thank you to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview the book.

The government decrees that women are no longer allowed more than 100 words daily, hold jobs, read or write. After reading the arc sent by the publisher, I thought the book was very interesting, but suddenly went downhill with several characters, weak plot, unbelievable, this is not another “ Handmaid’s Tale” The story had potential , gives you a lot to think about, and I wanted to care for Jean, but I didn’t.
Thanks to the publishers for sending me a copy to review.

A well-written timely warning - A handmaid's tale for the digital generation!
