I knew I was in for a weird time because I saw the movie adaptation in theaters before I knew it was a book. The book is just as weird and perplexing, if not more. I'm not interested enough to continue with the series, but I might try some other books by the author.

My main problem is that some of the descriptions and worldbuilding were difficult to follow, although this might have been more due to the fact that Libby only had the audiobook available to borrow from my library, which isn't the way I'm used to processing books. I think I would have felt more absorbed in the world and enjoyed the prose a lot more if I was able to read it rather than having to listen to it.
The ending also felt a little disappointing because I was hoping to understand more about what's happening in Area X, but on the other hand I think it was a fitting wrap up for the main character's story. I also know that there are more books in the series so hopefully those will provide more answers and understanding of all the strange phenomena that occurred.Â
