Great book kept my interest until the end

Published by Sleepyreader , 6 days ago
It was a great read. I enjoyed it until the end. I will have to read it again because I know that I missed some of the more complex ideas. The copy I received thought had dried coffer or beverage on it. They could have cleaned it up before they sent it.

Simple yet haunting

Never have I read a book that could be so steadily paced with rich vocabulary and a plot that cannot be predicted. The action is not typical; it's more suspenseful in being unsure as the reader of what will happen next. Just as unsure as those in the current expedition. I would recommend this book.

What a bizarre and fantastical piece of literature. Part fantasy, part science, part out-of-this-world weirdness. I think both the book and movie can be enjoyed immensely.

A Perfect Start to the Southern Reach Trilogy

Published by snohw , 3 years ago
I loved everything about this book. I personally really related to the protagonist and felt as though I really understood her. The plot is interesting and harrowing and I stayed up late to read this many a night because I just couldn’t put it down. The best thing is if you don’t feel like reading the whole trilogy then this works very well as a stand alone.

Fantastic but foreboding

Creepy as all heck, and one of the best-written horror stories that I've read, even though it's technically science fiction.

Smart, Creepy, and will stay with you.

Brilliant book! It is beautiful and descriptive. It is haunting. And will surely haunt you. I cannot wait to buy the other two novels to learn more about this world.
