1.0 out of 5 stars Absolute rubbish, 14 Dec 2004

By	"brigidmccarney" - See all my reviews

The authors of this dreary book have used it to try and spread their own warped morals and world-view to a wider audience. I managed to read halfway through before the appalling dialogue, the lists of facts and the author's own inflated egos got the better of me. I am not a feminist but these two shallow authors would make any woman start wearing comfy shoes. To compare Hitler and Stalin with Margaret Sanger (who I had not heard of before getting to page 209, ie someone who rescued women from lifetimes of bad health and drudgery), is absolutely disgusting and an effront to the surviving relatives of the holocausts. This book is now going in the trash where it belongs.

2.0 out of 5 stars Immature, pseudo-moralizing, 10 Jun 1999

By A Customer

The authors have used Y2K to stuff their pseudo-moralizing Christian religious views down the readers' throats. All philosophies other than Christian are discarded as "hoaxes" and "junk". A very conceited, typically Christian view indeed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hurried but heart-felt., 7 May 1999

By A Customer

Here is a novel by an accomplished author who obviously had insufficient time to create a work of more depth. Its plot and characters are embryonic; however, it is easy to see how they might have become much more memorable. Homeric themes give the story a charming archaic tone which is wholly absent from most modern novels, and the emphasis placed on community and family is very refreshing. By the book's conclusion, the reader discovers that the authors' intent was not to provide a sensational account of apocalypse; but to show that, whatever its outcome, no catastrophe can ever subsume our highest call to family and covenant community.
