I quite enjoyed Annihilation. Agreed that it's terribly written though. Definitely don't bother with either of the sequels. The film is worth a watch, it has a similar creepy feeling and is quite well made.
Alternatively just watch Stalker by Tarkosky. Based on Roadside Picnic by the Strugatsky brothers which has a very similar storyline to Annihilation.

I just made it to 52 books in 2022, more than I expected. According to Goodreads the average length was 393 pages and my average rating was 3.5 (with 3 being an average book).
Highest rated books were Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir and Rhythm of War by Brandon Sanderson (also the longest at 1,232 pages).
Worst book was Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer (read like a piece of GCSE coursework) followed by Starship for Sale by M.R. Forbes (a real advert against self-publishing).
