sorkatani 's review for:
The Anomaly
by Michael Rutger
This isn't a brilliant book and it certainly isn't the "horrifying" and "scary" story many reviews claim (unless your threshold for scary is very low) and it often plods unnecessarily slowly along and there is some genuine lazy writing at the end.
HOWEVER,
I really quite enjoyed the premise and the overall story. It reminded me a bit of Michael Crichton's The Congo.
The characters weren't particularly memorable, and there was no real sense of the claustrophobic atmosphere the characters found themselves in.
If you tried to explain the story to someone, it would likely sound boring and lacking in events.
And yet, it produced the same level of enjoyment that a b-grade movie inspires. In fact, given the author's penchant for cinematic descriptions, this book would likely make a more enjoyable film than book.
