I had a fabulous time with this novel. Admittedly it is NOT for the fundamentalist at heart--Kleir weilds a sharp knife, cutting to that bone of contention many people have with certain self-righteous and arrogant religions. If you have a taste for mischievous, however, you are going to thoroughly savor the story. It is clever, fast paced, suspenseful, and it's unpredictable twists will keep you off balance till the very last. I will also add that it is refreshingly honest. Kleier neither minces words nor suffers fools lightly in taking the reader on a most amazing journey. If I can recommend but one book to my friends, it is this one.

Pardon my misspellings if there are any, but I was up all night reading this incredible novel and my eyes are crossing! I simply had to tell someone about it. This has never happened to me before, but I literally could not put the book down before I found out what was going to happen. I even jumped ahead to the end, but STILL couldn't figure it out without reading it in its entirety. A very clever thriller, this one, coloured with lots of underlying intrigues and mysteries. I'd like to know if anyone was able to second guess what was going to happen here--I certainly couldn't. I thank the author for some of the finest entertainment I've had in quite a spell! I will read this one again!

As a person who reads a great deal of contemporary fiction, I would like to comment on this most unusual novel. Never have I come across a story that has touched me so deeply and shaken my beliefs so completely as this one has. Reading The Last Day was like experiencing an epiphany. Like being given a sacred glimpse into long lost mysteries and revelations. The story charges at you like a freight train, real, frightening and impossible to ignore, moving ever faster with each chapter, each paragraph. Yet, when I finished it (all too soon), I was left with a feeling of complete joy and satisfaction. That I had just experienced something truly unique and very important; one of those once-in-a-generation novels that actually has the power to change minds and the course of human events. In my opinion, The Last Day is a rare gift that should be read and savored and appreciated for the very special contribution it makes to society and the understanding of the human condition. There is much wisdom in this book for those willing to see it.

The best
If this isn't the best book ever written on this topic, then I'd like to know what is. The Last Day is stunning, credible, totally impossible to put down. Read it and marvel!
