    Don't waste your time. The second and third were horrible.

    I'd love to see a movie. Although I'm not sure if it'll be able to live up to what I envisioned while reading the book. But if done right, it could be really good.

    Agreed. These books are a total waste of time past the first one.

    Oh the first book is excellent. The others in the series don't take away from how much I love that one. I just pretend it's a single book and not a trilogy

    Following up on my post from nearly nine years ago. I did indeed pick up the hardcover omnibus LOL. I loved the story. The first book was by far the best but all in all, it's a very satisfying trilogy.

    I stayed away from the last 2 books because of this thread lol. I was fine letting the first book stand alone as its own story. Should I go back and read the other two?

    Also did y'all ever read Borne by JVM?

    It's like Dune, The Forever War, 2001 or even The Gunslinger. They all have a satisfying ending. I'd keep going though.

    The book is in a different style because the protagonist is different. It'd be really friggen weird if it read the same. It absolutely does rely more on mood than Annihilation but I wasn't bored.

    It's one oppressive book though. I couldn't read it at night time with just a lamp on.

    I say power through if you have to because the pay off is worth it.

    Borne rocked.
