As soon as I finished this book I ran out and got the second and third books, and I got the rest as soon as they came out! Countdown is my favorite series ever. I was sorry it ended at #12 but it was a great ending. Everyone should read this series!

Count Down was a series i picked up in the library just for the fact that I was bored and 12 130 page books looked like something to take my mind off things at night. And they did, for the first 4-5 books. Then the plot slows, the only characters who show a lasting spark are George and Julia who are the only real respectable characters in the whole series, and everyone else is busy doing each other or getting drunk or getting so high they can't even think straight. The plot was really stupid at first (people just dropping dead in a pool of black goo? I mean come on!) but then in book 7 the whole thing is explained and it was interesting. The whole shpeel with the chosen one was interesting enough but the "demon" was stupid. I didn't like the fact that Parker rushed through book 12 just like that, there was no depth to the ending and he rushed his conclusion. Overall I give it three stars only for the good twists he has.

This is the first book in a 12 book series that takes place in the year 1999. In this book, everyone over 21 begins to die. Will everyone under 21 make it through the year? A great book and a great series. Of course, what happens in the year 1999 didn't really happen. And it's far fected. But, an interesting series, anyways.
