The information we got in this book about Area X and the southern reach wasn't good or even a lot.
The pacing was awfully slow. One could start at 60-70% in, and haven't missed anything. It's a joke.
Main character; Control (John) was annoying. Couldn't decide if he wanted to know everything or nothing at all.
Plot wasn't interesting (or rather dragged out too much as we got almost nothing out of it). At some point I was so bored out that even the plot twist didn't bring me back into reading with interest.
Almost nothing happens in the book and we just get useless info, scenes and more that could have been cut out, as the book has about 70 pages content only.
Confusing. Maybe it's my vocabulary, but most of the time I either didn't know what was going on or it was too bizarre (without even getting an explanation!).
The last chapter. Who thinks it's a good idea to put the last 14% of the book in a whole chapter. That was way too much!
This book put me into a reading slump and even though I know that we get new characters and a new setting for each of the books from this series I seriously think I won't continue with it. Not complete set yet though, but definitely will read a different book (series) now.

Very colourful prose, sometimes trying a little too much to be clever, occasionally leading to metaphors and expressions that are just a little weird.
