The Anomaly by Hervé Le Tellier
mysterious
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
2.0
A quick read that’s about as interesting as a cereal box - Le Tellier likes to experiment with form, but the result is dissatisfying when approached as the SF novel it is framed as, The Anomaly consisting of only a thin plot and flat characters. More of a concept or a thought experiment than a fully-fledged SFnal read.
