Yeah, I was a third of the way through and realized it kinda sucked. I did stick it out to the end though.

One of the plot points has the main character literally act out scenes from classic movies. It's never a good idea to remind the reader that there's better entertainment that they could be enjoying right now.

    I forced myself to finish foolishly hoping the ending would blow my mind. Now people keep telling me the movie is even better but I'm like that's such a low bar I'll just go read Annihilation again or something

    This is exactly what happened to me. I was reading it for a while like okay, I guess this is kind of fun, and then a third of the way through I thought "oh wait, this is just kind of boring".
