review 1: This is the second book I have read by Don Hoesel,and again, I was not disappointed. Strong character development and relevant plot drew me in from the beginning. I love a good conspiracy theory novel. The story line if fast paced, and while others found it hard to follow the characters in the beginning, I was hooked from the first page and found no trouble following the characters and/or story line. Rather you buy into the end of the Maya calendar equaling the end of the world or not, this is worth the read.
review 2: I received this book for review purposes. I have been watching it as the cover is really neat looking. You know how sometimes the cover just jumps out at you? That is the way it was with this one. So when it popped up as available for review,... more I snatched it up:)I really liked the sound of this book and the plot was very interesting. I had a hard time getting into it though. The characters were likable but I think there was too much of the whole Mayan calendar and I couldn't follow a lot of it. Someone who likes this type of book might be able to follow it better but I couldn't. I did read the whole thing through and it had a good ending. Wrapped up quite nicely. I just wish I had been able to enjoy it more. I really wanted to give this a 5 star rating. I will definitely try another one of Don's books as I try to not let one sour an author for me. I have had some authors write a totally great book and then the next one is not interesting to me. So I like to read a couple before I write an author off. Hopefully the next one keeps my attention better. And please try this book out if you like this type of thing. Just not my cup of tea:)I received a copy of this book for review purposes. I did not receive any monetary compensation. less
