Poorly written. The story is okay, by no means interesting. It has a few exciting MOMENTS, but, as stated, few.
The female character, Melissa, who we are told is a hard hitting news-woman is weak and idiotic.
The writing style reminds me of something written by an average high-schooler. It seems to be written towards about a 6th grade (12 year old) reading level.
The book is really boring to read.
There are much better Apocalyptic books out there.
And as my title everything in this book happens in a "moment". Never in 'a second', 'a minute', ' immediately', 'quickly' or 'as soon as'.
It's a difficult book to read.

I don't read novels or fiction but this was a fun read. I am ex-military ex-missionary living off grid in Washington state. I know the town of Greenwater and other places in this novel so it was in my backyard so to speak. I have good friends living off grid in Montana. Like the short chapters and the easy way it was written. I am 71 so it is not always easy to keep attention span. Often I cannot remember the day it is, therefore i found this a delightful read especially with all those narrow escapes. The author has a great imagination for sure and a sobering message. This is supposed to be fiction and yet it parallels the global agenda of current Democrats. This novel may indeed become reality soon.

The writing is as though the author is a teenager. Every sentence or paragraph does not need to repeat the name of the person being written about. Melissa's jealous was overdone and the description of Tom's infatuation was juvenile to say the least.
I finally have up not finishing the book after reading about 60%. Do I believe things like this will happen in the end times? Yes I certainly do and that's why I really wanted to like the book. Sadly I couldn't.

How delightful a story. Mr Snyder so subtly introduces that which represent the Lord's side of the bargain that even when you believe, you don't realize where he is heading.
An impossible to put down book and one that wants to make you shout your joy every now and then. This thriller also shows that a good story is still possible without the need to use profanity or blaspheme the Lord's name anywhere. What a delightful work.

This looks like it would be a bad review but I enjoyed the book. The authors ability is poor but what he has to say makes it easy enough to overlook. The story is good and it is good at showing human nature at its worst, while showing people that are good at heart and learning to be better. It is a very fast read. I probably will not read it again but I will pass it along to others.

I follow the Economic Collapse Blog so I am very familiar with the authors writings. This book hits home and with today’s situation, he is right on target, and could see things unfolding in a very like manner. I love the content and characters and the way it was presented. Hope there is a sequel.

I read this fascinating book in one day! The author had interesting characters and he kept the action going. There were a couple of plot twists as well. I rarely read fiction, but I could not put this book down. Great story!

I liked the parallels between the story and current events. I am fine with the proselytizing at the end.
I didn't like the story hinging on so many last second miraculous escapes. That was a little too much mission impossible.

Not what I expected
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 21, 2014Verified Purchase
At the time of writing, there are 7 five star reviews, 5 one star reviews and nothing in between highlighting an extreme split in opinions.
I started the book one day and finished it the next so I definitely found it a page turner. The author keeps the action flowing quickly.
The book wasn't what I expected. I came to it from the author's Economic Collapse blog because, if you look at my other reviews, I'm concerned about what is happening in finance and economics. I didn't read the synopsis or reviews before I bought.
I thought I was buying a financial thriller but finance was mentioned more in passing than as a central plot. In its place is a fight against a government agency that operates in the shadows, even outside of the US president's control with supposedly the aim of uniting the world in peace and prosperity.
That doesn't sound so evil, does it?
Well it's more how they would do it and what they represent that is the big problem. They are nasty people who don't mind killing innocents.
The book turns into a battle between good and evil in terms of religion. It seems that the author believes that we're in the early stages of the prophecies in the Book of Revelation in the Bible.
I don't have an issue with that as such as a basis for a thriller but viewed in that light, the plot is underdeveloped.
The big question that I found coming from the book is "How do you know what and who to believe?" It's a question the book doesn't even try to answer.
Terrible things have been done in the name of Christianity in the past. Everything is open to being twisted and re-interpreted by men and women who want to advance their own particular beliefs. For example, there are many different strands of Christianity with radically different beliefs. The author is also doing it as he advances his own thoughts about the meaning of Revelation.
I see some reviews are critical of the writing style. I'm usually sensitive to these problems but I didn't have an issue with it as I was caught up in the flow of the book.
I found it entertaining in a trashy, airport thriller way but I suspect the author wanted to achieve much more than that.

2D characters. Wooden dialogue. Implausible ending
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 25, 2013Verified Purchase
The plot is good but otherwise this book reads like it was written by someone who took a two week course in how to write a novel. The characters are so poorly developed that you find yourself not caring if they live or die. The dialogue is completely deadpan and moreover each character uses the same modes of speech, ie without any idiom or abbreviations. Real people just don't speak like that. The thing that really annoyed me is that the ending is completely implausible to anyone who is not a Christian fundamentalist. I could forgive that if the author had at least a grain of writing skill, but sadly that does not seem to be the case.

A very good book that reveals what is happening right now in the world.
More and more people are joining the Remnants all over the world.
Michael Snyder has given us a straightforward look into the future and he has shown the answer.
I hope that many others read and consider the question of life and death offered in this book.

scam

Such a poor writing style, I haven't been able to finish the book.
I've read the sample and thought it's worth a read, especially as the theme did interest me. so I bought it and guess what, after the sample part the writing got so much worse that I had to put it down. What a scam.

Good idea but lacking in execution
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 24, 2016Verified Purchase
Great idea for a plot but the writing style resembles that of a schoolboy. While the characters have the potential to be built into interesting people the writer doesn't bother, leaving you not really caring what happens to them. The dialogue is written more like a report of what was said and doesn't resemble how real people speak at all. No abbreviations or inflections at all, leaving it all very monologue. The end can only be described as Christian fundamentalist bull$#!7
