Yeah, this was a weird one. Don't even know how to sum it up. But I wanted to read it because I've seen it around the library quite a bit and am very excited for the movie coming out since it looks awesome. Just so y'all now, I think the movie is gonna be really different from the book. I enjoyed ...
This was pretty much a meh for me. I don't really feel like the author got the tone right, but am also on a lot of cold medication right now, and it is entirely possible that I missed something. I want to give the author the benefit of the doubt because he clearly knows how to write, but the dry nar...
I put Annihilation on my "Book-to-movie"-reading list for one reason only: Alex Garland is writing the screenplay and quite frankly, he could write a screenplay based on the phonebook and the movie would be awesome. So I had high hopes for this novel and I wished for at least an engaging story (whic...
“Went to the tunnel. Do not look for me.” Five women go camping in a charming little tourist spot called “Area X”. Previous visitors have been spontaneously teleported out, gone cuckoo or killed each other. A Twilight Zone premise like that always makes me think “bet it doesn’t deliver” but this is ...
This book was so wonderfully written and constructed. I didn't know what to expect beyond what was given in the blurb on the cover, and it just exceeded all expectations. It's probably one of the most convincing and well-planned out books in first person point-of-view I have read in a long while. I...
Mama mia, What a little masterpiece of science fiction this turned out to be! I was dubious at first, but author Jeff Vandermeer draws the reader in, page by page, building tension and revealing all the complicated layers of the story's protagonist, the biologist. It's Maze Runner for adults, writte...
Annihilation (Southern Reach #1) Jeff VanderMeer, 2014 The general public know almost nothing about Area X, but the scientists don’t know that much more, aside from that the border is slowly expanding into the known world. A group known as the Southern Reach have been sending small expeditions i...
Four women, the twelfth such expedition, enter the mysterious Area X to observe and collect samples. Will the calamities that have befallen previous expeditions befall them as well?I'd read four Jeff VanderMeer books prior to this one and they were all unsettling in one way or another. This one was ...
this was like reading a long recounting of someone's very vivid, incredibly strange dream. it's all very wispy, and dream-like, and weird in a vaguely menacing way, and my god, i hated it. i couldn't wait for it to end, frankly. it seemed abundantly clear to me early on that i wasn't going to lear...
