Review: Provoking story. - Amazing book, would give it 10/10 very thought provoking story.
Review: Not what I was expecting! - Hands up if you thought this was a thriller and ended up with your brain twisted up like a pretzel? Firstly, I'd like to say that Adriana Hunter's translation is exemplary. This cannot have been an easy text to work with. Herve Le Tellier is clearly a highly intelligent dude who has done extensive research. I highlighted many quotes and passages for further reflection and felt that this was certainly a fine work of literary fiction. A great deal of the book is spent exploring the characters. Each chapter is almost like a little short story within itself. The characters' backgrounds are extremely diverse, which makes for an intriguing read. I don't wish to give any spoilers but suffice it to say, the scientific stuff slowed down the narrative considerably and left me feeling like a thicko. If you understand it, then I imagine it's all very exciting. I loved the clear parallels with a former President. I did enjoy the book but it absolutely was not what I was expecting and I left it having more questions than answers. Maybe that's the point. I think 'The Anomaly' would make a good book club choice due to the potential for some riveting discussion. And if someone could explain the final page to me, that would be great!

### ⭐⭐⭐ Far too many characters
*by T***R on 26 November 2022*

The beginning was good. Had me hooked. The second part was confusing. Far too many characters. sub stories within the story. If you read in one sitting, and you have good memory you might enjoy it more, I read it in dribs and drabs and the characters names all got jumbled in my head. The ending was disappointing. Too many loose ends. Perhaps if I read it again, I might get it. However, on a positive, It would make a very good film.
