Annihilation

Well, to be fair I drifted in and out of this a lot; that could be blamed on listening to the audiobook rather than reading the book, but if it had been a good book for me it would have kept my attention. Annihilation reminds me of the first [b:Wool 12287209 Wool (Wool, #1) Hugh Howey https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327889474s/12287209.jpg 17263666] story in the sense that it's a self contained story which sets the scene for a bigger story (as I've heard Annihilation is in the Southern Reach trilogy) but the difference is that Wool #1 is a compelling story in itself. This book, not so much. Had Annihilation been a longer book (audiobook was only 6 hours at 1x speed) I would not have finished it; as it was so short I kept giving it a chance to improve but it didn't.
