Absolution (Southern Reach, #4)

I don’t know why I expected that maybe this one would be better than the last two terrible books but I gave it a try�
The first part held so much promise and I enjoyed the movement of the plot as Old Jim’s covert ops took shape in the soon-to-be Area X.
As I reached the middle of the book, however, I started to lose the plot and get completely mired in minutiae. It. Was. So. Boring�.and uninteresting. VanderMeer’s attention to detail is commendable but ultimately horrible. I’ve read the diaries of schizophrenic patients that look so near to this that I think any psychiatrist reading this book has a basis for a diagnosis.
When I got to the third part, where nearly every word is the F-bomb, I realized that either the author is in fact schizophrenic or he has used his celebrity to play a gigantic joke on all of his readers. This isn’t good spec fiction but utter nonsense and garbage.
