Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Timely, insightful, prophetic.
Review: A must read for every Christian who realizes the importance of being wise and innocent in these last days. This book will make you think twice before you dismiss anything to coincidence again. If you've ever doubted, the truth of this book is convincing. We are living in the last days. Let us all realize the importance of our time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME AWSOME AWESOME!!!!
Review: A superbly written, woven tale of government corruption, conspiracy theory, and the struggle for world dominance. It's obvious Mr. Burkett has done his research.The suspense is great, the story is well above the average for any fiction, religious or non-religious. One of the few books I have read that I couldn't put down.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A good book to help us be on our guard in the last times.
Review: Although this book is fiction, it seemed like another good reminder of the commonly held hidden agenda of the antichrist. I had seen Apocalypse 2/Revelation the video, and Cal Rutland in the Illuminati reminded me of the anitchrist's henchman in Apocalypse 2/Revelation. This book emphasized the tremendous weight of the media/television to impact public opinion. Even now, you have to force yourself to do other things besides watch TV because its easy to just sit there and justify the ungodly stuff that comes over the TV. If you listen to the voice in your conscience that says "breakaway", you are doing good. This was the fastest that I have read a book since JAWS. I thought the parallels concerning what happens to those who serve Satan rivaled the scene in the movie Ghost in which the guy who killed the lead character was being clawed and dragged to hell screaming in fear. This also, matched what Carmen's video shows as the way the warlock dies in "A Witches Invitation". Basically, satan lures people by their own desires and when he is through with them, he discards them to suffer. I think that books like this might possibly re-enforce that christians will have to suffer, and this is a potential warning of it. Jesus said we would be hated because of Him. We are hearing it from many sources such as the bible, prophecy books and fiction. Like training. A good read ! Somewhat farfetched at times. But still a good read !

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Overexaggerated & unbelievable, but interesting.
Review: An interesting plot, quite easy to read although very religious(directly describing the anti-christ, heaven/hell etc. - the author isobviously a devout christian) and somewhat too exaggerated and farfetched at times. The author certainly has a vivid imagination though - it is amazing (although thoroughly unbelievable) all the worldshaking events that he described happening in just the space of the next 10 years.

The characters are interesting and well thought out, although the author has an annoying habit of giving ALL of the characters names, however important or unimportant they may be. This results in the reader reading half the book before he realises which characters are important and which are not.

This book is however worth reading if you're interested in plots, conspiricies etc. Disappointingly, however, it does not tell you very much about the Illuminati.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Couldn't put it down
Review: As a mother of six, I don't have much time to read, but I made the time for this one and I couldn't put it down. I'm not a religious fanatic, but there were enough elements of truth, that I can only hope and pray that we never come to what Larry Burkett suggests could happen.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Untalented, unwitty, predictable and without depth
Review: Based on an interesting idea and a truly scary vision the author succeeds in totally wasting every opportunity to catch the reader.

The characters are undeveloped, stereotypical and flat. The plot is thin and predictable. The technology used in the book to first control the entire USA and then in the hands of the freedom fighters liberate it is totally unrealistic and described in a manner that makes you want to laugh.

During most of the book the author describes how greedy media-conglomerates and a naive and easily duped population allows WWII nazi-germany happen all over again in the USA, but nowhere does he discuss anything about anyone reacting to the lies and deceptions that the corrupt government pours out through the media. It is as if noone even reacted when hundreds of thousands neighbours, friends and family were rounded up and sent off to camp.

Besides, who can for one second believe that any American would allow the government to tatoo an ID number on your hand, a number that you have to show to get food and supplies? The revolution would come well before that happened...

Luckily, Jesus and Christianity saves the world at the end of the day.

A silly and ridiculous book totally ruining a could-be great conspiracy theory plot.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: "The Crying of Lot 49" LITE.
Review: Before this book I had no idea there was such a thing as 'Christian Fiction'. So this is what the Reborn do for fun. Well, for the real thing they should read Thomas Pynchon's "The Crying of Lot 49" and be really frightened while having a much more enjoyable read if the satire is not lost on them.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Riveting reading, really what it coult be like someday!
Review: Dear reader; if you like the 'LEFT BEHIND" series you will really love this. It's written really well, its fast, the characters are great, i loved it. I reccommend it all the time, please buy and enjoy.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A highly amusing book...
Review: Fanatical right-wing cyberpunk. So badly written I still suspect that Burkett is really a leftist in disguise. Don't read this if you want inspired writing, but recommended if you want a laugh at the expense of the religious right

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Ignorance can be really funny.
Review: I don't think I have read a funnier book in all my time. What made this book hilarious, was that it was not trying to be a wacky book. The Illuminati is a novel so poorly written (A ten year old has better grasp of the language), and so full of prejudice (Pat Robertson has it next to his toilet), you will find yourself laughing and groaing at the same time. One hopes that Burkett would crawl back under his rock and never try joining the literary world again. Even though ignorance can be really funny
