2012: The War for Souls Audiobook

" Come on all you sci-fi readers...This one is for all of US:) Come and enjoy what could happen on Dec 2012. if you dare.... "

" An interesting plot that becomes weaker as the story unfolds... "

" I rarely read books like this. I have read a few Stephen King but it is not genre I usually like. This was a kind of fun one. Very imaginative plot. I listened to the audio version. Not heavy but it was entertaining. "

" interesting book, held my attention all the way through! "

" The title, 2012, is based on the date the our world is due to end according to the Mayan calendar, December 21, 2012 and the events leading up to that date in 3 parallel universes. Universe 1 is our present day Earth; Universe 2 has two moons but is parallel to our Earth in every way, including portals that cross between the two, and Universe 3 contains the dinosaurs never died out but continued to evolve and who now want to populate Universe 1 and 2. While the story held my interest enough to finish the book, there were many bouts of confusion among the frustration of poor editing (using the wrong name in several places and misspellings) and, in the end, many unexplained occurrences. "

" We all know about the Mayan calendar and the doomsday warning for 2012. We start with an archeologist on a dig and move quickly to an author writing a science fiction book and somewhere along the way the lines get blurry and we are drawn into a parallel universe and earth invasion. Sound confusing? It was a little bit. I had to keep flipping back a little to remember where I was in the layers of parallel in this book. (With due respect to the author I was trying to read the book with the Olympic Games on the television in the background, muted but on) It was not a bad story and it had characters that I enjoyed very much. But all in all, not really my cup of tea. "

" Decent read. Entertaining, good action sequences. Humorous at times... the right kind of humor. Not much else to say. "

" An alternate world book, with three worlds to visit. The switching between worlds is rather intrusive, one of the charactors is forced to write a story when one of the other worlds has bad things happen. "

" Interesting twist to an idea for dec 21,2012. "

" I am not really into science fiction at all. This book grabbed me right at the beginning and I loved it till 2/3 through. It changed and I had a hard time finishing it. "

" This book has an awesome premise, but I found it unnecessarily violent and very confusing. I liked Strieber's book The Greys better. "

" I started this book but I didn't have it for very long. The part I read was VERY slow. "

" This is a page turner, but I'm not sure that I liked how it ended. It seemed too neat. "

" This book was great; so meta. There was always something happening, so it was hard to put down. There are some religious undercurrents that are not quite so "under" by the end of the book, but it works! "

" this book really kept the excitement and surprise going right up to the end "

" Both interesting and confusing. "

" I was really into alien invasion/cover-ups over the summer, but I have to say I liked the first book, "The Grays," better. "2012" goes off into REALLY weird territory with alternate earths and reptilian races. I like weird, but it seemed a little silly to me. "

" just started, so the 'jurie's still out', but I usually like Whitley Strieber's stuff "

" Exciting read! no greys present in this story, only lizard people. "

" Started off interesting but fell apart by the end of the book. "

" This book dragged along very slowly for me, and I realize halfway through the book that I was no longer enjoying the story. The writing was mediocre -- decent at best -- and I struggled to finish the book. "

" As much as I really wanted to like this book, I didn't. It was confusing in parts, boring in other parts, and I only finished it because I hate NOT finishing a book. "

" This was a great idea for a book and it started out very well. However, it just sort of disintegrated into a monster fighting mess at the end - hope that's not really what happens on 12/21/12! "

" fantastical look at the future "

" This is a horrible book, I made it about half way through before I gave up. The writing and character development was just ugh. "

" This was more of a political attack than an entertaining story. Continued reading it for the sole purpose of analyzing the author. Have to admit. It did make me laugh out loud. "

" This book wasn't as bad as i expected. "

" Absolutely tight story, whether you believe in souls, God, aliens, or not. Fabulous pacing and action scenes, really well written with great use of language. "

" This book was so bad I didn't even bother listening to the last ten minutes, even though there was one more "clincher" to wrap up. "

" It was ok. Kinda long winded. "

" It was a real struggle to continue reading this book to its conclusion. Not what I usually expect from Whitley Steiber. Were it not for my personal goal to finish a book once I have begun reading, I would have put this one down and never picked it up again. "

" I just couldn't make it through this book. It was the most boring, ridiculous concept I have ever read, plus I could not get involved with the characters. I would not recommend this book to anyone. "

" This was the first of Whitley's books that I have read. I was amazed by how I couldn't put the book down. Other people who have given this book bad reviews apparently have limited or no imagination. "
