Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer
5.0
For those that are saying in these reviews they don't understand the book or didn't like it... I have some amount of pity for you.
This book was an ABSOLUTE WORK OF ART. Not a single sentence was fluff. Everything was necessary. Which is such - I cannot stress enough - SUCH a hard thing to do as a writer. The writing was poignant and to the point with the perfect amount of description. This was a book that reminded me of how much I loved to read. And HOW COOL IS IT THAT WE GET TO EXPERIENCE OTHER PEOPLE'S ART MADE OUT OF WORDS ON A PAGE?!
This was just... Ugh. This book was incredible. The plot. The development. The suspense. The horror. The graphicness. Everything served a purpose and VanderMeer USED the English language and made it work for him.
The craft that is this book is awe-inspiring.
I am grateful... Grateful I got to experience this novel.
Please be warned I'm a massive horror and suspense fan and to me that's what made portions of this book so well received. If that's not your thing, this isn't probably the book for you. It's graphic. That being said, the writing craft is *chef's kiss*.
