After seeing it on the list in this thread, I decided to read Annihilation, and I just finished it. As others said it’s weird (I like weird, so it’s one of the reasons I wanted to read it). The writing style really reminded me of H.P. Lovecraft, which is to say it’s a bit stilted. I’m glad I read it - it’s an interesting world and the story is told in an interesting way - but it’s not a book I’ll recommend to a lot of my friends. Some of them, maybe.
Have any of you read it? What did you think?
I love how almost no one liked it in this thread, including me. I think the book is conveyed to the reader by the MC after the transformation happens which is why she feels like such an overanalyzer.
It’s hard to say if she really was neurodivergent before going in, but I think few normal people have sex with their husband “to own them” and vamoose in the middle of the night to stare at puddles in an empty lot while behaving secretive enough to appear like they’re hiding something really bad.
I don’t know. This book wasn’t for me and I won’t be reading the rest of the series.
