Absolutely not for me

The twelfth expedition enters Area X.

This is not a bad book, Annihilation is just absolutely not for me. I didn't enjoy the premise, characters, world-building, story, all of it was dull verbiage. I cannot stand supernatural stuff, it reads like tedious bullshit to me. Which is, coincidently, how I'd describe this book. I got a strong “Lost” vibe from it, and if one considers that a good thing, I can see Annihilation being enjoyable.
