With all this information, especially since I wrote my SRP on Book awards which covered how books associated with Book Awards seem to automatically be considered for a school's choice of reading; I thought that this was going to be a textbook 'not as good as everyone says' scenario.

I was wrong.

This is one of the few times when I have to admit that...I mean it, really. 

I'm actually still currently reading it, but I think I can still form an opinion about the book, just like when the first chapter of a book is really bad and you hate the book. Some of us throw in the towel and others (like me) give it a chance and read the second chapter. Most of the time when I do this, I still throw in the towel in the end, but it makes me feel like a better person.

Anyways back on subject...Station Eleven, this novel deserves its nominations. It is so deservant..so worthy!

There's one of those short review type quotes on the cover that I agree with 100%. It says that Station Eleven is fearlessly imagined, once you read this novel, you will completely understand this. All I ask is...don't make a movie. Please, movies disappoint everyone, don't make a movie.
