5.0 out of 5 stars Apocalypse, 5 Mar 2006
By A Customer
This review is from: Apocalypse (Paperback)
I found this book exiting from beginning to end.
Having the main character being quite weak and helpless helps you to relate to him. So much description just helps to bring this story to life and leaves an imprint in your mind for quite a while.
This story is religiously based and needs you to think a lot to understand the ending.
I was satisfied with the ending and it explained everything to me as i wished. It also gave the impression that you are your own God and many people may doubt that but you have to find out for yourself.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hey that hurts, 6 May 2005
By A Customer
Each Bowler novel lives in the grey border between hard-edged realism and plausible fantasy and Apocalypse is no different. Passages of this book are among the most powerful he has ever written and they hit home like bare knuckles - pain everywhere. While not as emotionally satisfying as his previous novel, Starseeker, there is still loads to admire and the page-turning narrative really keeps things pumping along. It's a gritty read though so if you're of a nervous disposition you might be better off with Abigail the Breezy Fairy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Apocalypse by Tim Bowler, 13 Aug 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Apocalypse (Paperback)
I am a great fan of Tim Bowler. I have enjoyed all of his books. He doesn't flinch from working with challenging themes and issues. Apocalypse is one of his darker books and captures the essence of the current issues that have resulted in recent tragic events around the world. He challenges our views of right and wrong at many different levels: the extreme physical and emotional pain that that Kit has to endure from others, the intolerance that can be found in some belief systems and ultimatley the nature of good and evil. These are issues we are all faced with in such a volatile world.
It is also a good read, gripping from start to finish.
