Annihilation

I was unsure about reading this book. On the one hand the story sounds great, on the other hand I've not really connected with books by this author before. So I approached this book with a little trepidation, hoping I wouldn't be let down, and I was rewarded with a wonderfully creepy and strange story that drew me in and didn't let me go.

The mystery of just what Area X is, is left unanswered at the end of the book, and we don't find out much about the narrator, and nothing about the people on the expedition with her. I can understand that this can be frustrating for some readers, but I am happy to go with the author on a journey through these books, and follow where he leads.
