Dead Astronauts
by Jeff VanderMeer
What is this? Did Jeff decide to write weird sci-fi in the style of *digs through hat* epic poem?
The narration style not only didn’t work for a novel, it became irksome, then downright obnoxious. I tuned out of multiple arcs because (a) I was bored, and (b) had I focused intently, I would have endured one of several droll characters going Claude Frollo in their “what is the what” apostrophes. Cripes, we get it – it’s just... blah.
Out of respect to a revered author, I plowed through, but this one better just be a case of a series’s #2 simply being an errant number two, nawmean.
