Anthem by Noah Hawley
4.0
Ooh-wee....there is a lot going on in this book. Political strife, a pandemic, climate change, an insurgent attack on the capitol, teen suicides, an evil pharmaceutical company and a rich pediphile. Sounds like the headlines of major newspapers from the past few years.
Hawleys book is in the future but the Anthem certainly covers our last three years of history. While the storyline is down right depressing in the end the book leaves us with hope.
With so many characters there are multiple threads to keep up with and it was challenging since I opted to listen to the audio version. Plus side is the author actually narrates portions of the book which adds a personal tone to the narrative.
I almost gave up on the book because it seemed so bleak but glad I stuck with it to the end.
