strangelyiz 's review for:
The Anomaly
by Michael Marshall, Michael Rutger
I just finished The Anomaly last night and I need to wait until July for the sequel??!!!! Torture!
Ok so this book was amazing.
When I looked up the description, "If Indiana Jones lived in the X-Files era...", I knew i had to try it.
I'm a little leary of cave-type horror. I've read a few, including The Descent, and in spite of the glowing praise, I never liked them all that much.
This one is different.
Right from the start you love the characters, all of them. At least I did. You understand the main character and how he thinks and feels, which makes everything that happens later on that much more believable. Which is really the key for me in a horror novel.
It takes about 30% to really start getting to the creepy stuff, but long before then I was interested and engaged. I liked these guys and had a great time following them to their destination.
I'll try not to spoil it too much, because I want people to enjoy this one as much as I did, so I'll just say that the discoveries inside the cave, and the rising fear and horror, are totally great. I actually had to stop reading last night because I gave myself a case of the creeps, which hasn't happened to me in a long time. It was a nice surprise. Even when it got to the really crazy stuff it was believable and fun.
Anyway, I loved it. It was a fast, easy read too. I binged it in 2 days. If you haven't heard of this one and need something fun and spooky to get behind, please do!
