Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer

dark slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

No real plot and the characters were really unlikable. I stopped halfway through in the lighthouse scene and was like "I wanna go back to the tower and see the crawler I don't care about the psychologist I want the crawler" and then looked up the synopsis on Wikipedia, got disappointed in the ending of all three books in the series and decided to give up. I like how it was written though, it felt fresh and experimental just purely in a grammatical sense.
