I never had any desire to read this book. However, a friend recommended it to me, and then I couldn’t resist. It’s super long. It took me about two months to read, and I only read it at night before going to bed. It was NOT a good bedtime story. I don’t think I had many nightmares though. My problem with Stephen King has always been his extreme attention to detail. His books are mostly all long. However, this book really needed to be long! […]
Secret society stuff – kinda nightmarish
Let me just start out by saying that this is book 1 of a trilogy. However, the other two books aren’t released yet, so hold your horses. The minute I was done with this book, I searched for the rest of its friends. I was happy to learn that there were more books coming. I was sad to learn that I’d have to wait for them!!! This is the first book I’ve read by PJ Manney. I don’t think it’ll be the last. Right away, […]
I guess this clears things up?
After loving Annihilation (Book 1 in the Southern Reach trilogy), and not really loving, but not hating Authority (Book 2), I was excited for Acceptance, which is book 3, and the final book in the trilogy. Acceptance starts pretty much right after Authority. Control and Ghost Bird (the new name for the biologist) are back in Area X, and further explore its mysteries. The stories of the psychologist (from Annihilation), Ghost Bird, Control, and the former lighthouse keeper are told during different time points throughout […]
The guys behind figuring out Area X
As soon as I finished Annihilation, I got Authority from the library. While I was there, I grabbed the final book in the trilogy too, so I wouldn’t have to wait to finish them all. I was sad to discover that the first book was my favorite though. This second book in the trilogy was my second favorite though. It centers on a man named “Control”, who is the new director of the agency that studies Area X. We don’t get much backstory initially about […]
The creepy world of Area X
This book was my first taste of Jeff Vandermeer’s work. I loved it. It’s the first book in the Southern Reach trilogy. It’s by far my favorite of the three. The other two were a little crazy for me, and that’s saying something! This book just pulled me in and made me want to know the whole story. Annihilation centers around Area X, which is a place separated from the rest of the world after an incident a few years ago. Every year (we’re told), […]
A beginning without much substance, but some promise
3.5 stars Agatha Clay (although I’m going to assume that this is an assumed name, since she has another one in the TITLE of the book) is one of those diligent students, who no matter how much she wants to suceed just can’t seem to. She’s almost constantly late, she can’t really seem to make her inventions work and she’s a laughing stock at the Transylvania Polygnostic University. To make matters work, during a weird electrical incident in town, she’s robbed and her precious locket, […]
