When I read Annihilation last fall, I was intrigued, repulsed, mystified, enchanted, horrified, compelled, absorbed, and ultimately so unable to articulate what had happened that I didn’t attempt a review. But it has never stopped growing on me, new insights twining around in my brain. It’s insidious. Then the movie happened. I. Had. To. Go. I didn’t think anyone could film the book, and I was on Cloud 9 when I saw the abundance of rave critical reviews. It got compared to Apocalypse Now and 2001: A Space Odyssey ! It got called “stunning” and the “Best Sci-Fi Film in Years” that “ranks among great philosophical sci-fi”! And though there were many differences from the book, it sounded almost as batshitcrazybrilliant as the book!! Which means there are now two equally haunting versions of this story for me to wonder WTF happened. I might not have all the answers, but I’ve certainly enjoyed replaying scenes in my mind and pondering the possibilities. And I suspect that’s
Such a great series. I'm so glad the new book will be out soon :D
ReplyDeleteMe too, Sara!
DeleteMy favorite series ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteI think this Quote is from hard bitten and not some girls bite
Obviously we are huge fans of this series, too! This is from SGB, when Morgan comes to apologize to Merit for not sticking up for her in from of Celina when they meet at Red.
DeleteOMG, YOU ARE RIGHT!!! I apologize Sensei, it not the first mistake I make today.Definitely my brain did not want to wake up today, so now I will go to punish me for committing the mortal sin of mistaking a quote that I should remember
ReplyDeleteLOL, there‘s no need for apologies or punishments... otherwise we would have to start doing that to ourselves when we mix up quotes and books and just forget things altogether. :) On the other hand.. if the Master himself would be the one doing the punishment, that might just be tempting. ;)
DeleteOh yes please!!
ReplyDeleteMan, I loved Morgan before he became a huge douche.
