The Anomaly by Michael Rutger

4.0

---

I waffled between 4 and 5 stars, but settled on 4 - not one of my favorite books of all time, but a highly enjoyable and gripping read, perfect for the summer. The story goes in a direction it would be very hard to expect or guess, and it all ties together. It’s a combination of Indiana Jones, X Files, and mythology, and I didn’t want to put it down. The characters are rich and not caricatures, and humor is used to good effect. The pace is also good, and the chapter breaks are used well. It’s not horribly deep, but I am impressed that the author came up with the story! Extremely creative.
