review 1: I don't understand the seemingly new trend of ending books right at the climax with no real closure. Up until the end I was ready to give this book 5 stars. The characters were interesting, the plot thought provoking - I was really curious where he was taking it...and then I found out...no where.The book just ends - right when you think there might now be some focused direction. Some purpose.As it stands, the book is just a platform to preach about global political issues, environmental issues and some weird, twisted, religious-ish millennial overtones. With no ending it was all meaningless.If the author thought that the last paragraph was going to bring it all together and give the reader an "ah-ha" moment he was definitely wrong (at least for me).Maybe this is the first ... moreinstallment in a series...I couldn't find info to that effect...but, to me, that is the only way this book could be redeemed.
review 2: Twin brothers who grow up in foster homes, one normal (Thomas) and the other (Jude) in command of demonic powers that sees his rise into a powerful figure, much like an antichrist. A chilling look at what becomes of someone when evil is left unchecked. The only thing I had a problem with was Thomas' seeming indifference to Jude's morality and manipulation and how it affected others lives. This book was, by no means, written from a Christian perspective, but even viewed from the Thomas' point of view and knowing what he knew, you would think that he would question his brothers' motive a bit more.A good solid read. less
