Baby T-Rex is our hero!

Now the things really has changed from the movie. I can’t remember much about the movie now, but I’m going to need to watch it after reading the book. There’s so much more to the book.

I’m really enjoying this. Some things were done better in the movie so far, due to its visual and audible tricks they can do (like when Dr Grant sees the first living Dino of his life) but the book has so much more to offer. So enjoyable.

Since I watched the movie a loooooong time ago it’s now time to read the book. So far, 24 pages in, no content has been in the movie. And it’s also really good and surprisingly quick to read.

Not sure if this is a bridge book between Annihilation and Acceptance, but it’s so slow. Things are starting to happen, and then it just stops happening.

I got this book because I’m a fan of Ghibli Studio, and when I found out it’s based on a book I was immediately curious.
This is so different from what I usually read, but it’s interesting still. Easy read, and yet the visuals from the anime plays in my head even tho they are so different it could easily be read/watched straight after each other.

I’ve been reading this slowly. It’s still not much happening, Control who is the new Director of Southern Reach is still walking around not doing too much. Ghost Bird, the biologist from the first book and movie, can’t remember much and Control is having a administrative terf-war with the assistant director.

So far its been slow. I want to know more about Area-X, where all the interesting things are. But I feel I’m mostly just getting behind the scenes things, how Southern Reach operates, how “Control” is. Can’t wait to go back into Area-X.

Compared to the first installment this feels so different. Still full of mysteries, but it’s also so weird seeing Ghost Bird from this POV.

Somehow the descriptions reminds me of a better more modern Lovecraft. I’m loving it

So different from the movie.

Still clinging on. Not sure why I’m struggling with this one

Not sure if the writing is normal for light novels or not, not sure if I’m getting used to it or not.

It’s a simple read, prose does what it needs to do. But the dialog so far, and the MC’s internal conflict, is great.

I love the cyberpunk genre, but somehow I just need to take multiple breaks reading this one.

So far I’ve got so many questions, but in the good way.

Okay, okay. Got me mighty interested here.
