Best part about the movie is you don't have to read Vandermeer's prose.

I loved the books too. I got my buddy to read A Strange Bird and he hated the prose. I really like his writing personally.

ah Borne and A Strange Bird are two of my favorites of his. A Strange Bird was heartbreaking.

I will say that I couldn't penetrate Dead Astronauts tho.

We are on the same page. I really enjoyed Borne and haven't finished Dead Astronauts. It's on my short list because I got so far that I need to know the ending. Haven't gotten to it for like a year though.

The audiobook is amazing. I enjoyed listening to it more than reading it
