[Discussion] Second Place Book Club Selection - Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer
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.

Really enjoyed the first book. Started questioning things in the second. By the third, I was hate reading it to get to the end.
Without spoiling it, the ending completely failed to land for me. Just a hodgepodge of incomplete ideas and loose ends... If it was just the first book they could've told other stories and built a Lovecraftian mythos around it, but instead they had to go for the 3 book deal and by the end it was just too much toast and not enough butter for me.
Are you me? Couldn't agree more. Enjoyed the first so much, kept going for some kind of resolution and got...blah.
This is why I stopped after the first book. I’ve seen a ton of people having that exact same sentiment.
I don't often give up on books, but I couldn't finish the third. Maybe one day I'll go back, but yeah, it all went downhill after the first one.
