She is to be annihilated and meets on of the oldest men she has ever seen. Thalli is taken to the scientists and studied to determine what went wrong. Thalli tries to carry on, but when given new music for the piano all of her emotions overload.
Berk comes to Thalli’s rescue and shows that he still has feelings for her. Once outside though, everything changes and Thalli is in for the shock of her life. Now at the age of 17, Thalli has had enough learning and pretending, deciding to escape and explore the grounds outside her compound. If a child is known as an anomaly they are sent to be annihilated and this is the reason Thalli has been hiding her inquisitiveness. Thalli was heartbroken, not that she could show her emotion. Although her friends in POD C knew of her anomaly behaviour, they never complained.Īt the age of 12, Berk (like her BFF) left their compound to start his mentoring with the scientists. Thalli knew from when she was a small child that she was different, an anomaly on the inside, but outside she appeared to be like any other. The brain studies that have been conducted showed that music helps stimulate productivity, so with each generation a musician is a must. Meet Thalli, she is a third generation designed to be a musician. Each child was created with a purpose and designed to be as proficient as possible without question of why what or how. They created and designed beings and with each generation tried to make them more efficient. With the surprise attack, the government representatives didn’t make it underground and “The Ten” scientists in charge of the construction, engineering, etc. The government had created an underground community to wait for the surface to be liveable once again. My only conflicting reflections would be the Christian aspect I am not religious and don’t generally read books with it as a strong subject matter, but the overall premise was amazing and very unique.Ī nuclear war erupted and the surface was decimated. Ms McGee’s writing style was great and I was addicted for the most part. Krista McGee certainly knows how to write a book with surprises and no predictability at all (well, for me at least). Anomaly was such a complex and surprising book that I’m astounded. Ok, so I don’t really know where to begin.
