Anthem is a novel of our times. Sadly, it feels almost prescient. Nay, more scary as a story of our times. As a father of two, the pandemic of which is speaks is horrifying and reminds me to hug them early and often.
The writing and the spacing can be annoying - a character is met and then forgotten about, only turn up over a hundred pages later. It could be a turn off. It was written very well, but you can tell the author had some major feels as they were writing. It could be a turn off, but it's what pushed the novel forward.
While the story in itself was bleak, I will still hold onto hope.
