Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
My recommendation this month goes to Jeff Vandermeer’s “Annihilation.” This is a book about a doomed expedition following on the heels of other expeditions into country that has proven to be all but impenetrable and which appears to change those who go into it. The writing is first rate. At times I was reminded of Ursula LeGuin. The author has that uncanny ability to see an issue from more than one side and to make a story that has little actual violence into a a thrilling page turner. This is the first in a trilogy, and the next comes out in May. Better get on this one before it does.
One response to “Terry Reviews: Annihilation”
I just finished it, and it was good yet creepy, like crossing a naturalist’s journal with a dystopian horror story. Very weird.
