3.0 out of 5 stars
Not as bad as I had expected,
By A Customer
This review is from: The End of the Age: A Novel (Paperback)
I did not open this book expecting to like it, but only for the sake of completeness in my research into Christian fiction set in the future. As I expected, there are some technical mistakes (although not as many as I expected), the "bad guys" are mostly foreigners, and the typical evangelical bogeymen are invoked. Some of the events are just too convenient for the characters (both the "good guys" and the "bad guys.") Still, it's surprisingly well-written, and, on the whole, the narrative "works."

Really didn't like it.,
By enash - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The End of the Age (Paperback)
First off, I'm not a fan of the writing style. It covers so much information and time with little dialogue, or characters for that matter. But that's just the style. The way the story was presented was what I had a problem with.
It seemed like the author had a lot of interesting ideas on what he thought the end times would be like, and he didn't want to write an end-times non-fiction spiritual book, so he just presented it as fiction, but didn't quite know how to do that. Characters are introduced simply to experience the asteroid plumetting into the earth. Then, they drop off. All of a sudden, near the end, they come back, and now they're like generals or something, or leading some kind of airstrike during the battle of Armaggedon. WHAT?! This book is a grid, a blueprint for a certain way it COULD happen. It is not a story about people, or a story with a plot. It is just a list of events that read on until Jesus comes. The only reason I gave it two stars was because it didn't follow the whole rapture-theory at all(that word isn't in the Bible, and even implications of one doesn't say WHEN during the tribulation it would be). In this story, the Christians are here for the whole thing, and everything isn't quite so set and orlderly and expected like the Left Behind series. It follows the premise that throughout the last century or so, we've already experienced the Seal Judgements, and that the asteroid hitting earth is the beginning of a great cataclysm that mankind is about to face. IF you want a different take and aren't expecting much of anything else, read this, but not if you want a real story with passion or voice. 7 of 8 people found the following review helpful:

Look for quality literature elsewhere,
By Student - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The End of the Age (Hardcover)
I had to read this book for a class in the book of Revelation. I could bearly force myself to get through the book it was so bad. The characters were flat, the story line terribly predictable, the dialogue was boring, and it couldn't have been written at more than a third grade reading level. I noticed all this and I'm an engineering student not an english major!

A decent book, but intellectually uninteresting.,
By Jimmy - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The End of the Age (Paperback)
I would have hoped that a book written by a man with the religious stature of Pat robertson would have yielded more spiritual insight. While I wasn't necessarily expecting something of the same quality of Brian Caldwell's masterpiece We All Fall Down or the likes of C.S. Lewis, I was somewhat disappointed in the simplicity Robertson brings to bear on religion. Essentially, this is a good book to read if you're looking to simply re-familiarize yourself with your faith. anything deeper and you will have to look elsewhere I'm afraid.
