Annihilation

I think I understand why it's popular. But it's just not for me.
None of the characters give a damn about each other enough to even warrant referring to each other by their names, so why should I care about them?
This is very well written, but written in such a distant, emotionless manner that I really couldn't give a hoot about anything.
There's definitely mystery here, and an otherworldly feeling, but it reads like a science journal - which I understand is exactly what it is in a way, but that doesn't make for compelling reading.
I didn't hate it, but just wanted to get it over with.
