I loved this book. I deeply appreciate authors that can transport me into a different world with so few words. Anthem has a lot of similar vibes as other classical dystopian novels like 1984 and The Giver. Ann Rand's writing was beautifully simple and moving. I appreciate dystopian novels because they showcase how damaging something good in small bits is horrific if done on a huge scale and Anthem was no different. It was captivating and so moving.

Review of 'The Color Purple' on 'Storygraph'
5 stars
This book was an amazing experience. I knew nothing going into it and coming out of it wanting to watch the movie and listen to the musical adaptations. As a white person, I think it is important for me to read this book because it helped me understand parts of a black woman's experiences and I was about to connect them to history and my personal life. Walker's writing is very easy to understand and shows a lot of character. I was rooting for Celine throughout the whole book. All of her relationships with other people were so fascinating to read. It left me broken but still whole.
