4.0 out of 5 stars Confused about author's codes, December 7, 1999

This review is from: The Omega Code: Another Has Risen from the Dead (Paperback)

I read this book literally in one sitting. I am not a reader of fiction, and only took this on because of my intense interest in the Bible Codes. My dilema is that the writer gave what appeared to be codes throughout his book and let the codes advance the story line, which he did most perfectly. I would love to know if the codes that were brought to light were authentic. or mearly put there as an example. All in all this is a really well written book. However, there were some typos, which I will blame on the Editor. I give it 4 stars.

2.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat boring. Read "Left Behind" series instead., December 6, 1999

Well, I finally received an advance copy of this book. It was not worth the wait. I saw the movie first (by the same title) and the movie was worth the matinee admission price, but not the evening admission price. Both the book and screenplay are by the same author -- Paul Crouch. Correction to my previous review. The actor playing Alexander Stone is not played by Simon Ward, but by another fine British actor. I do not recall his name, but he is quite famous. While the book was more exciting than the screenplay, both suffered from the same theological errors (In My Humble Opinion). 1. The Rapture of the Saints does not occur before the seven year tribulation period. It hadn't occured by the end of the book at the 3.5 year mark. In fact, the Rapture is not mentioned anywhere in book or screenplay. 2. The book makes a snide remark about the Mormon faith (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) on page 222. The hero of the book, Lane, says: "God told me to search the hills for a cave that had hidden golden tablets to show me the way." Cassandra: "Did you find it?" Lane: "No, it'd just be my luck that if I did, He wouldn't give me the special glasses to read them so I could understand it." While I do not share in the Mormon faith/denomination/cult, I see no reason to alienate this group of believers. The members may be misguided, but they still profess a belief in Jesus Christ. 3. In this book, the spirit of the Anti-Christ does not enter into Alexander Stone until he is wounded in the head, dies, and then is resurrected. 4. As a Computer Science professional, I have a hard time believing that the Bible contains a three dimensional holographic computer program. 5. My biggest complaint is non-logical statement on page 180. The non-Christian hero of the book (Lane) says: "Alexander then found his name encoded all throughout the Code's prophecies. When he did what the prophecies said, they came true ... one after another." This is the usual time paradox of causal events, but handled very poorly. Mark Twain did a much better job in his explanation of "The Boss's" arrival in King Arthur's Court from the future. Twain's "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" has a better written description of that causal time paradox. Final comment: I would buy this book in paperback, but not in hardback. The normally higher hardback price is not worth its contents.

I received the book Omega Code on Jan.24,2000 and I could not put it down and I finished it the same day. I have never done that before. The book kept you on the edge of your seat. Would like to read more by Crouch. Keep books like this on your site and I'm a steady customer. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
