Politicized Ratings Abound October 17, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
No need here for another synopsis, rather a few words on the widely varying reviews. This isn't 'great literature' nor the finest whatever. What it is is a very interesting read with a fascinating premise. Those of you offended by any positive take on religion probably can't enjoy this. The book could reasonably be reviewed at 3-4 stars based on quality and certainly similar level books are often 'generously' rated at 5 stars by many of the more enthusiastic folks out there. But the 1 and 2 star reviews merely reflect the political 'axe to grind' anti-christian attitudes manifested by a ever growing crowd who apparently are more than ready to bring back book burning and perhaps their own modernized version of the Inquisition. Enjoy!
 Poorly written with one book in the middle as a complete recap of events so far. September 17, 2008

This part of the series was poorly written. Sort of like a story by a middle school kid who is a really good writer. Paper thin, inconsistent characters, rambling in spots and never able to capture the reader. A predictable plot that twists and turns to no good end.
I couldn't stand how the characters went from these strong personalities to complete indecisive, insecure wimps as soon as finding Jesus ... who then rebel against the anti-Christ. By the way ... think of it ... the anti-Christ. Imagine the fun you could have writing that character. Nope, not in this collection. Not fun at all. I was hoping for him to be a real grab you by the throat and throttle you character ... no depth to the character at all. He constantly sounds like a whiny preschooler. Very disappointing.
I really thought this collection was going to go somewhere ... I kept hoping. But as I moved from book to book it just got weaker and weaker until I just didn't care what happened to the characters. Just get it over with. Let the 1000 year reign begin already.

i loved this book. all the books in this series are very well written and keep you glued to the books. i ordered several for my brother and he loved them. his friends are reading them as well. they are always asking when i am going to send the next book in the series. these are sure to entertain you and keep you wnating more wondering what's going to happen next. the authors did an excellent job in my opinion. i hope they keep them coming.you will surely love them.
 One of the worst books I've ever laid eyes on July 28, 2008

I really, really wanted to like this as I love religious fiction and those titles dealing with end times in particular though. There is no getting around it, however - this is one of the most poorly written books to have ever been published, period.
