Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer

Annihilation is our second place selection for November. We decided to choose a second book for people who want to have a little more variety and want to do more than one book in a month. I am looking forward to the discussion on this one. I saw the movie when it came out but am really interested to experience the story in book form.

I loved the first book. I read it after seeing the film, which I also loved.

Both seemed like a dream of the other.

The sequels I enjoyed, but you have to enjoy the journey: there is no conclusion. Though that is a form of story telling that I quite like.

They also feel like completely different genres. Wild, surreal, uneasy.
