 Kim.Sasso | Aug 27, 2023 |  The movie was meh but even that was better than this. (  ) Emree | Aug 20, 2023 | 2.5 A vaguely interesting concept (very derivative of Roadside Picnic) is lazily explored through a poorly woven and pretentious narrative. It's strangely gripping and yet oddly boring at the same time - probably because you want to see what happens, but very little actually does happen. The ending also feels rather anticlimactic due to the narrator dropping a last minute exposition bomb for some things, and then shrugging thier shoulders at other elements in a sort of "Well, I guess we'll never know..." kind of way. I understand this is the first of a trilogy, but nothing in this book gives me confidence that the author had a firm grasp of the concept in his mind when he began writing, and so I'm not sure if I'm willing to see if the other 2 books are any better. Although still flawed, I feel the film did a better job of communicating some of these ideas. Neither the book nor the film are wholly satisfying, but if you're a bit of a sci-fi nerd like me then both are worth looking at (the film more so). If the weaknesses of both could be dropped and thier strengths combined, the result could be something mighty fine - but it's never as simple as that, is it? ( ) TheScribblingMan | Jul 29, 2023 | The language is horrible, the people are flatter than cardboard cut-outs, and every second use of a sciency word is wrong (I kept a mental list at first, intending to post it here, but it is just too overwhelming. Just assume that most sentences that contain words like "ecosystem", "eukaryot", or even "cells" are wrong). The plot is full of holes, but interesting. Which makes for an curious case of a book that is unbelievably badly written, but still fun to read, if you have time to do it within a day or two. (  ) Arseny | Jul 3, 2023 | It's rare when the simple act of reading a book makes you feel like you're losing your own grip on reality and causing you to question everything, both in and out of the story. I will live the rest of my life wishing I could read this again for the first time. (  ) sublunarie | May 13, 2023 |
 Atemberaubend! ...strange, clever, off-putting, maddening, claustrophobic, occasionally beautiful, occasionally disturbing and altogether fantastic...Annihilation is a book meant for gulping — for going in head-first and not coming up for air until you hit the back cover. "Annihilation," in which the educated and analytical similarly meets up with the inhuman, is a clear triumph for Vandermeer, who after numerous works of genre fiction has suddenly transcended genre with a compelling, elegant and existential story of far broader appeal.

HTML: If J. J. Abrams, Margaret Atwood, and Alan Weisman collaborated on a novel ... it might be this awesome. Area X has been cut off from the rest of the continent for decades. Nature has reclaimed the last vestiges of human civilization. The first expedition returned with reports of a pristine, Edenic landscape; all the members of the second expedition committed suicide; the third expedition died in a hail of gunfire as its members turned on one another; the members of the eleventh expedition returned as shadows of their former selves, and within months of their return, all had died of aggressive cancer. This is the twelfth expedition. Their group is made up of four women: an anthropologist, a surveyor, a psychologistâ??the de facto leaderâ??and a biologist, who is our narrator. Their mission is to map the terrain and collect specimens; to record all their observations, scientific and otherwise, of their surroundings and of one another; and, above all, to avoid being contaminated by Area X itself. They arrive expecting the unexpected, and Area X deliversâ??they discover a massive topographic anomaly and life forms that surpass understandingâ??but it's the surprises that came across the border with them and the secrets the expedition members are keeping from one another that change everything.
