Trammell Hudson reviewed Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer (The Southern Reach Trilogy, #1)
Weirder than the movie
3 stars
The movie and the book are both interesting, although they are different enough that I'd say the movie is "based on the back cover of the book". The unreliable narrator and weirdly disorienting story telling makes it a challenge to piece out what (if anything) is real while reading, which is can be an enjoyable experience for some readers.
Also the workplace dynamics of the Southern Reach office is really suboptimal. HR should probably get involved.
