5.0 out of 5 stars Irresistible reading, February 14, 2000

This review is from: Prophets for the End of Time (Paperback)

This is one of the freshest novels I've read in ages. It's often laugh-out-loud funny, always charmingly written, with compelling characters and well-thought-out worldbuilding built on a firm foundation of religious teachings! I can't remember when I've had more fun reading a book.

4.0 out of 5 stars PAGE TURNER, THOUGHT PROVOKER, December 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Prophets for the End of Time (Paperback)

It's not often that a book can combine a page-turning story with the kind of deeper insights usually found in "literary" works. This book about a very different Christian apocalypse does both, and it does it with humor, style, and entertaining pacing.

Who'll hate it? Born Agains who like their religion pure and literal, New Agers who want their guardian angels sweet and cuddly, and Fantasy Fans who need their fantasy universes filled with elves and hobbits. Who'll enjoy it? Readers who both laugh and think. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent, thoughtful book -- from Baen!, August 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Prophets for the End of Time (Paperback)

Foret the garish cover (which is hardly visible here anyway, I guess), and forget that it is published by blood-and-guts Baen Books. This is an extaordinarily thoughtful work. If you were intrigued by the ethics in Mary Doria Russell's THE SPARROW, this is for you.
