The End Is Now Audiobook

" One of my least favorite doomer novels - mediocre writing, slow moving, but since it WAS a doomer novel, of course I read it anyway! "

" Don't believe the description of this as satire - certainly not funny satire. Maybe some small smiles. He's no Jerry B. Jenkins (to list another author of a rapture based book) - I actually found the characters to be somewhat realistic in the sense that real people could actually say those words. At least in the first half of the book. In the second half they just became caricatures as the plot took over. This is where the book tried to be Douglas Adams but was not successful. I was interested in the story, though. I wanted to find out how it ended. "

" A comparison to the end times, modern version. Not sure I liked the ending, kind of left me hanging. "

" Interesting story based on the idea that God is test-marketing the rapture in a small Kansas town, by inspiring an 11-year-old boy to prophesy its imminence. And things predictably go straight to hell. This was satiric, yes, but not as funny as I expected. Also I found the ending somewhat non-conclusive--I'm sure this was the author's point but I wish he'd done more with it. Overall, not a bad way to spend a few hours. "

" don't read this book thinking you will get another interpretation about when the rapture will happen, or some deep insight into scripture. that's not what this is about. rob says this is a satire about the rapture. if i had a larger vocabulary i would have known what a satire is before reading this... needless to say i'm a big fan of satires now. he totally makes fun of how stupid some people are when it comes to rapture stuff but at the same time forcing you to think differently about a very serious subject. i liked the ending... it was suspenseful for a bit and forced me to think about what will really happen someday (and how it will happen). i'm pretty sure it won't happen the way described in the book :) "

" I wasn't sure I was going to like this book, mostly because I was worried that it would be like his first book. This one was much less cynical, and just more readable. "

" I was hoping it would be more like "Lamb" by Christopher Moore. It wasn't as humorous as I had hoped, but did have it's moments. It's a good glimpse into how people might act, and what becomes important to them, if they think the rapture is near. "

" very amusing, easy read. It gets a bit over-the-top but is still enjoyable. "

" Eh...it was better than Left Behind! "

" The plot moves very slowly and the characters seem stiff. This book struggles with some basic theology yet captures the craziness that encompanies human nature. I do not recommend this book. "

" I've just started this very humorous Christian novel about the Rapture. Can somebody write about the end of days and still be this funny? It's off to a promising start. "

" Loved this book. Its very witty and extremely well written. The Rapture with a sense of humor. "

" The end was a little much, but an entertaining book "

" ummm...so i didn't realize that this was a christian-y rapture book until after i started it. and i have a hard time quitting books in the middle. "

" Interesting read, but not my favorite book. The idea of the rapture in Goodland as a test zone for the end of the world. "

" Good book on what could happen when people believe the end is happening. This book looked at how different groups and individuals could respond to end time possibilities. It will make you think about how you might respond. "

" Got this as a freebie through B&N a while back. For a freebie, it was pretty good. A lot of religious references for obvious reasons. "

" A reviewer on Amazon commented that this was a humerous story of the Rapture. I think I missed the funny part.... "
