This dystopian novel is more frightening than most because it is neither futuristic nor implausible. With our country's slogan of "Make America Great Again", the rise of white supremacists and the strengthening of the religious right, this tale is not so much fiction as cautionary. For lovers of The Handmaid's Tale, this one brings us fully into the here and now and the not so distant future.

By chapter five you will want to speak every word and hoard every book! Makes you second guess the words of every man; your boss, the guy at the grocery store, the mailman...everyone...except your partner....or should you look askance at them too? Could it happen...maybe not...but then again, that's how it could happen. The ones like me, a librarian, thinking, right along with everyone else that it could never happen, when I would probably be one of the first with my words taken away. For those that would decry the book because they see similarities behind current politics, then maybe that should tell you something.
I absolutely loved the book, the characters, the plot. Though the end felt a bit rushed, this is probably due to the fact that it's a book that could easily be twice as long and still be just as captivating of a story,
I loved it enough to want to read it a second time. The first time I went through quickly because it pulled me along so fast wanting to see "what happens next" now I want to really "read" the book this second time.
5 stars and 2 thumbs up to Ms. Dalcher for writing a book that compelled me to leave a review.
My sincere thanks to the author, the publisher and Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

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!
