" Received this as an ARC from the publisher. The author A.J. Kazinski is a pseudonym for Anders Ronnow Klarlund and Jacob Weinreich. This is an excellent thriller. Some of the "chapters" are only one page long, and yet they still leave you hanging at the end of that one page, just as they do for the longer chapters----I loved it. I like books that make me read faster toward the end. This book had me "speedreading" all the way through. Based on the Jewish legend of 36 righteous people on Earth being the saviors of mankind, this book is hard to put down. And the surprise ending will keep you guessing. One of the best books I've read in many years. "

" This was quite simply an EXCELLENT book! I loved the authors's frank style. My jaw was literally sore as I approached the end due to the momentum, I was so tense and on edge. Ha! The "makes you wonder" premise of this book always makes for a good read for me. I highly recommend this for anyone's "to read" list. "

" I found this book even more intriguing when I found out that the theory of the 36 righteous men is infact belived to be true amongst the Yiddish/Jewish religion. Good Read. "

" I really enjoyed the audio version of this book. The narrator had a wonderful voice and the characters certainly came to life. I believe this is a translation but has none of the stilted feeling that translations sometimes have to overcome. The plot is intriguing and for the most part fast-paced, although I would have liked a bit more of an explanation at the end. It was satisfying, but only to a point. That said, I would recommend it to anyone who likes a thriller/mystery with a supernatural or speculative edge. Very enjoyable! "

" an interesting topic, good and well structured characters, but an end in disagreement with the pace of the story "

" The book started off well with a well researched premise. However, it moved on to endless chases that did nothing to the plot and the ending was anti-climatic with no real conclusion. Best avoided. "

" This book didn't know whether it was about terrorism, climate control or religion. Very disapointing "

" Disappointed in that this is billed as a thriller. Interesting plot and characters but sort of lost steam about 2/3 of the way in. I finished it and am happy I didn't purchase it. "

" Loved this. It was almost divincicode-esc. Would love to see this as a movie. "

" This was an interesting premise for a thriller, written in a Dan Brown kind of way. Character development was pretty good and the plot was interesting. I thought it fell down at the end a bit, but won't say why because it's a spoiler. Let's just say I never understood that part of the Bible anyway. "

" Started out well but just ended up a pile of drivel much like the The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo seris. "

" Mystery and suspense that keeps you glued to the book, it would make a great movie, to be honest I was not familiar with the author/s, so I was a bit hesitant, but it is a great story I'm glad to have read it. "

" More of a 2.5, I'm feeling generous right now but may change the rating later. Decent but ultimately not very memorable thriller, though it does have interesting and not-completely-flat characters. Liked the first half a lot better than the second half, to be honest. "

" Subtle racism and sexism! Mildly insulting. "

Angie | 5/21/2012
" I thought the first half of this book was really exciting and well written. I couldn't put it down during that time. Then it seemed the author had a hard time wrapping it up. It was still a good read but not one of my favorites. "

" Had to give up on this one. Too much jumping around to different points of view, and too many of what seemed to be extraneous details. I just couldn't maintain my interest. The final straw was the jump into what appeared to be the villain's point of view, and attempt to make him sympathetic. "
