A review by kathyblais
Anthem by Noah Hawley
3.0
A fictional, crazy story that somehow tied in all the non-fictional crazy storylines we've been dealing with the last few years. Covid, climate change, Epstein, Trump, oxycontin, depression/anxiety, political division & extremism... this is not a feel-good book.
And yet I kinda liked it. The writing style was interesting, with the author breaking through and speaking directly to the reader every so often.
Trigger warning: The suicide thing was too extreme and almost fell by the wayside in terms of plot.
It was ridiculous and over-the-top, but it kept me interested and it felt like the perfect novel to read while I watched things unfold in Ottawa this weekend.
