Annientamento

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.

Very weird with lots of visuals. I feel like the book requires you to use your imagination to formulate the details of the descriptions. I liked this book. Made me curious about the sequels, but I’m feeling like I don’t want to read the next one right away.

One of the most emotionally impactful books I've read, ever. Several times I had to put it down for a moment and just let the feelings it had dug up find their way through my brain to process.

I greatly enjoyed the movie, but loved the book even more. While the movie does a great job of visually portraying everything, it just can't compare to the books and your imagination. The book also seems to put a bit more focus on the characters conflicts with each other, and what happens between them.

It goes into such detail of the weird things happening in Area X, and all the strange happenings. I found it less scary, and more beautiful.

Not only is everything amazingly and skillfully written, but just the goings on are beautiful as well, in my opinion.

it's the journal of a biologist exploring an area where things are Wrong and Strange. if that sounds like an enjoyable read to you it probably will be
