Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer
3.0
I thought this would make me understand the movie more, but it certainly did not.
I enjoyed the matter-of-fact narration. The biologist is a very cool character to follow, and I do not remember her coming across this way in the movie at all.
That said, following what was really going on was hard. I do think a lot of that was intentional, both through telling it through the lense of the biologist, and through her continuous corruption as the book progresses.
Still, I wish things had been a bit more clear. As it is, this didn't give me enough to really get invested.
