The Twelfth Imam: A Novel Audiobook

" What a disappointment! The 1st half was great, but the middle and end sucked! "

" Very interesting book. I was completely in the dark about where the author was going with this until the very end. I can't remember who recommended I read this, but I wish I did. "

" Riveting. Keeps your interest. Can't wait for book 3! "

" Twelfth Imam is another Armageddon story, this time centered around Historical Persia, now Iran. Fears of Iran having nuclear weapons and planning to wipe out Jews and Christians are real. Only the false Messiah, the 12th Imam could unite them to other Muslim countries they currently fight with. Very believable Story. The subplot romance is also intriguing. "

" Great book, can't wait for the 2nd book to come out. "

" This book was really intresting, it kept me reading on. I couldn't put it down. "

" Rosenberg should have quit while he was ahead. This was dumb and went nowhere. "

" Mis-labelled as a "political thriller/fiction/suspense" in reality it is preachy, christian, fear mongering. The book doesn't deserve the 1 star that I have to give it. Disgraceful. "

" The book takes you into the complicated political and religious world if the Middle East. It is end times reading from a Shia Muslim view point. "

" An excellent book with an interesting perspective from an American Muslim. A spy thriller. Read it cuz its worth it. "

" I liked the book until the end. I'm not fond of stories that leave you hanging at the end. This is obviously leading to another book. "

" Not a huge fan of Joel Rosenberg's books, but it was good from the standpoint of current times in Iran. "

" Not that great. I like the idea and the historical and current political background that he brings to his books, but they get a little preachy. I even agree with the views, but it gets tedious. "

" Scary and incredible! Loved it! Now on to the next one! "

" I didn't expect to enjoy the book as much as I did. "

" I enjoyed this book but I have to admit, I liked his first series of books a bit more. If you like end times fictional literature, however, you'll like this one! "

" We don't want leaders that believe in Armageddon. "

" Verrrry Good! Read it upon recommendation from my boss and really enjoyed it. A spy thriller set mainly in Iran with good human interest. Also, assuming it had some factual basis, some very interesting information about the Muslim religion. "

" The phrase "ripped from today's headlines" would apply to this book. I did find it fast-paced, educational, and thought-provoking. My biggest disappointment was with the ending, as many loose ends were left . . . loose. "

" I am not a fan of political thrillers but once I got into this story I had a hard time putting it down. The end definitely leaves you hanging. Good thing the 2nd book is out. "

" Fast paced. Excellent story line. Very plausible. "

" Its an 'ok' read, the evangelical ideas of the author come up often during the course of the book, this according to me, is an impediment to an otherwise taut flow of story line. I shall give this author another whirl soon. "

" This was an AWESOME read! Hooked me on the series! "

" This was a great book. It's fiction but ties in a lot of current events and helped me understand certain situation in the Middle East a lot better. "

" Not a bad thriller, but it ended just as things were getting interesting. Looking forward to Rosenberg's next book. "

" Thriller set in modern dayUSA and Iran. An easy read/page turner. However, I didn't realize until I was about 7/8 of the way through that it is (I think the genre is called) Christian eschatology. I don't think I need to read any more like this. "

" Not what I expected. Easy to read. "

" not a whole lot of plot progession, and weak characters, but interesting set up for a series "

" very interesting book, I liked it a lot. "

" Great read -- ending left a bit to be desired, but perhaps Rosenberg left it open for a sequel? "

" EXCELLENT!!!!! VERY INTENSE!!!!! This was loaned to me for my NOOK and I will be purchasing this later on so that I can read it at a slower pace. I have read some of the end time books that are out there, but never one from the perspective of the Middle East. "

" Read it here first, in the newspapers later. Rosenberg has an eerie way of packaging tomorrow's events in a storyline you can read today. "

" Not full of the kind of action I had dreaded in a "thriller"--much more character development, very intriguing. Fascinating explication of the framework of fundamentals of Islam. "

" I anticipated a geopolitical thriller, but (at the risk of offending some) this was more of a religious fantasy. "

" Verrrry Good! Read it upon recommendation from my boss and really enjoyed it. A spy thriller set mainly in Iran with good human interest. Also, assuming it had some factual basis, some very interesting information about the Muslim religion. "

" Pretty substantive for a fiction book. Good foundation of Muslim eschatological beliefs wound around a pretty good storyline..... "
