This isn't a bad book by any means, I actually really enjoyed it for the most part. There just seems to be a bit of a disconnect for me later in the story. I love a character driven narrative, and I couldn't get enough of the main protagonist telling us about his past. But as the story got more and more ridiculous, I think it lost that element a little. Plus, it is structured as letters, and you know where he's going to end up right at the beginning, so this took away the danger element for me. Overall, it was fun but didn't come close to Annihilation.
