miereiae 's review for:

Dead Astronauts by Jeff VanderMeer
3.0

Although beautifully written, this relatively short book was actually really dense and pretty difficult to read because of the non-linear nature of the story. It was intriguing, but kind of made my head hurt... and with all of the effort that I had to put in to read it, I didn’t get the amount of explanation I would have hoped for to make it feel like this was worth it for me.

To be fair, maybe it would have helped slightly if I had read Borne first - though I thought this was more of a stand alone thing? Oh well. This was a bit of a miss for me I think.
