I give up and I'm marking this as complete because I'm giving up on the final section of the book, which is about 90~100 pages. I tried to finish this but the final character and writing choices made it unbearable. That being said the rest of the book was fine, if kind of slow. I was never interested in reading the sequels to Annihilation after reading a preview sample of the 2nd book so I'm not sure why I read the prequel. I wouldn't recommend picking this one up unless you've really enjoyed the sequels.
