This review is from: Apocalypse South (Paperback)

I loved Apocalypse South! It kept me turning the pages until I was done (I finished it in 3 nights.) It is informative and entertaining, and has a great message!

2.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing and imaginative plot--unfortunate style., August 25, 2002

This review is from: Apocalypse South (Paperback)

The writer takes the many details of end-times biblical prophecy and compresses them into a compelling individual journey. The story raises intriguing ideas and unique notions that offer much food for thought. On the other hand, the writing style is heavily descriptive and narrative. Occasionally, the dialogue improves the plodding pace, but sometimes even it becomes mere speach-making--a device to communicate the author's viewpoint on a particular issue. At one point the writer describes a character as being a "road scholar." My sense is the error was no typo. The bottom-line is that this tome offers a potentially imaginative plot--but a sophomoric writing style (with apologies to gifted tenth-graders everywhere).

This review is from: Apocalypse South (Paperback)

This novel was nominated for the prestigious Townsend Prize Fiction Award in Atlanta, Ga 2002. This is great for a first time author who was against veterans like Terry Kay. Give this book a try.
