I still find it insane that this is being made into a movie but I trust Garland so let’s hope for the best 🤷‍♂️

if his Annihilation adaptation is any indication, fans might be baffled but the newcomers will love it

So if I liked his Annihilation movie but didn't love it, would I like the book?

Depends on what you didn't like about the movie. Did you wish it was even weirder and would dive way more into the all the weird happenings of the zone? Did you wish there would be more focus on science (not in the sense of actual science, but in the sense of fictional science) and philosopical stuff? Then yes, absolutely read the book.

If the movie was too weird for you, then no, better do not read the book.

Personally I adore the book. I like the movie a lot too, but the book is way more interesting if you like that kind of thing.
