 ANOMALY of reminded my of LEVEL 2 by Lenore Applehans in the way that it is a dystopian with religious aspects. However, in LEVEL 2, they were a bit more veiled than in ANOMALY. 
 The novel started off fantastically, Thalli has fifteen minutes to live. She is an Anomaly, different from any others in the State. Scientists believe that the reason the world failed was because of emotion, so they have terminated it in all of the citizens. This is where the dystopian aspect comes in. 
 I wish it had delved into more the world before, rather than just going into Christianity. Religion is a big part of this book, and as a Christian myself, I did not find it boring, but it is definitely not for everyone. 
 The romance was pretty well done, I liked how it was more in the background rather than in your face. It was cute and sweet, and very enjoyable. I also liked how the current society was described. Everyone has a purpose, a job, and they are not meant to deviate from that. 
 There was a very interesting twist in the end that I really did not predict, and it definitely makes me want to read the next book. 
 Overall, it is a good story, just one centered around religion.
