Good shit. Do you like it?

I probably agree with what a lot of the critics are saying, that it’s far from Houellebecq’s best and is for for die-hard fans, but I still love it. That said, it definitely doesn’t have the brilliance of The Map and the Territory or The Possibility of an Island.

I'm still very new to Houellebecq but I agree. Annihilation felt more tender hearted than his earlier work. I just finished The Possibility of an Island last night, my god what a great book

I’m glad you loved it! I was initially dubious to the concept, as I’ve never been very into futuristic sci-fi, but he can really tell a story! Such originality.
