Hmm...Annihilation is too weird even for me. There are aspects that I liked but the majority left me all what the heck why and who cares. Having just read On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft in which King recommends stripping down descriptions, I found myself overly critical of a story that seemed primarily to be verbose descriptions. I also dislike never knowing when things are real or hallucinations or memories or lies told by the narrator. It ends up feeling like you spent a long time not getting anywhere. Breathing buildings? Yup. This incarnation of them? Not so much. 
 Update: I just re-read the summary of the book and thought, "Dude! That sounds awesome!" (Yes, I said "dude" in my head to myself.) Too bad the book didn't live up to the summary.
