My Annihilation by Fuminori Nakamura

3.0

(2.5) LISTEN.. this was one of the most confusing books I've ever read and despite that I was still HOOKED from beginning to end. The author did a fantastic job of building up suspense and adding in sprinkles of tension at just the right moments. I loved the concept of delving into a story within a story and I can't say it was executed in the best way, because I think it pushed the book deeper into confusion territory--BUT there was something about it that I loved. Apart of me wonders if I need to give it a few reads for things to become fully clear, but I don't have time for that. (my tbr pile is quaking at the thought of me reading this book a couple more times :P) I think had things been a little less foggy, I would probably rate this book higher!

I honestly want more people to read this one just to hear more thoughts on it! BUT.. I know it's not going to be a book that's necessarily well received so this is *not* me recommending it. LOL.


...I dread the day I have to explain this book in a yt video or to a friend. ;--;
