This is The Stand for the 21st century. For this very moment in time. As such, and considering this moment in time, I can absolutely see why this book is not the right book for now for some people. But I loved it.

Noah Hawley's version of "The Stand." Merits reading twice, just like watching his television shows!
3 stars because he apologized for how weird the book was getting. So much going on in this book.
Audiobook
This book was terrible for my mental health. But could not stop. I had a hard time connecting with the characters, but the story was so damn compelling I could not look away.

Mishmash of ideas. Some parts read like an action movie.
Some parts are simply boring.
Will
Probably be turned into a TV mini series.

Oftentimes disturbing, but with moments of great exhilaration.
This book was a tome. Over 400 pages and covered a million topics, gun control, suicide, cults, rape, trump, it was everywhere and nowhere. It was very hard to read and yet I could not put it down. It is nearly impossible to review. This one will stay with me for a very, very long time.
Anthem: A Novel by Noah Hawley was without a doubt one of my most anticipated reads of 2022. Despite the fact that I don't like attaching that label to books, because they don't often live up to the hype, I couldn't help myself with this one. Honestly, it was a good choice because this book was amazing.
Anthem: A Novel is an ambitious and disturbing novel about post-covid America. I think the part about it that I liked so much, is that it is so believable. It doesn't seem far-fetched and out of the realm of possibility at all.; not with the way the world has been going for several years now. Maybe I'm jaded, or just very realistic and this is why the story appealed to me so much. It hit home, it disturbed me, it made me think about what I read long after the last page, and that doesn't happen often.

Hope this is made into a series.
If you like to read to escape reality, don’t read this one. Set in the present/not to distant future adolescents have starting killing themselves.
I can see this book being talked about for many years
