Dead Astronauts by Jeff VanderMeer
4.0
I totally understand why some readers did not like this. It is certainly not for everyone. Although, I don't think it has anything to do with intelligence as one reviewer mentioned I think it's just straight up taste and preference. If you're not into bizarre, repetitive stream of consciousness sort of writing often coming from inside the minds of genetically and mechanically altered beings in a dystopian hellscape, then maybe this isn't for you. At times it almost felt like listening to some avant garde track with lyrics and a chorus.
Personally, I enjoyed this a lot. It's definitely the most sort of scatterbrained book of Jeff Vandermeer's that I have read/listened to. I would have given it five stars, but I do think it's suffered a bit in the last big chunk with an organizational issue that is not an artistic one. It's difficult to explain other than that.
