A review by jennifermackaman
Anthem by Noah Hawley
Did not finish book. Stopped at 9%.
Graphic: Child death, Mental illness, Suicidal thoughts, Suicide, and Suicide attempt
Moderate: Panic attacks/disorders, Grief, and Injury/Injury detail
This book should have a major content warning on the actual book. I read about 40 pages and had to stop. It contains extremely detailed descriptions about suicides and grief. It also details the reasons why teenagers died by suicide. The point of this book is to take our current global anxieties, like climate change and social unrest, to their logical conclusion. A flaw in this concept is that these anxieties are real for the reader, and it is difficult to distinguish between fiction and reality, especially in a book that is created to reflect reality. I would recommend reading this book slowly and pay attention to your mental state while reading.
