My life is forever diminished by the first three minutes of the book - The most interesting character is a psychopath named Blake, a clever hitman who methodically and brilliantly deploys his craft. The gory scene depicting the languishing creature is purely gratuitous and asynchronistic with the rest of the book. Truly unnecessary and depraved to dive so deeply in the slow torment of a dying animal.

The book cruely opens with the superfluously vivid suffering a poor dying dog. This did not turn me off, but I was disappointed at the sophomoric execution and overly simplistic elements of the book. The book The Anomaly was first published in 2018, two years after the show debuted.

Manifest debuted in 2018 so it must have been written or concocted in 2017 or 2016. a plane flies into a sudden terrible thunderstorm storm and unbeknown to the passengers flies into a wormhole / gets lost in time, the plane emerges years later and the surviving passengers have to make sense of the situation and deal with societies uncertainty towards them as well as gov / deep state cronies.
The anomaly series#
UNORIGINAL - There is a mediocre Netflix series called Manifest and this book poorly rips off the theme of the show Manifest, Same plot with minor differences, e.g. Other wise the narrator was great, a little mixing on his French and African accents, but still a nice performance. THE MOST INFURIATING THING - The narrator kept pronouncing Boeing as Boing. PROS: Fun thought experiments about the uncertainty of existence + fun to reflect on how one would engage their doppelgänger CONS: So many. Moderate Spoilers - I will not ruin this lame book for you, but might reveal a few elements from this sad underwhelming book.
