Rating: Summary: Oh My God! Review: I was in the library looking through the sci-fi section when this book popped out at me. As soon as I read the book jacket I was hooked. I finished it in a week and could not put it down. I love all of the controversy. It blends sci-fi, religion, romance, media, social studies, history into one great read!
Rating: Summary: Interesting, but everone it is JUST A NOVEL! Pure fiction. Review: First of all I would like to point out that Jeza is a FICTITIOUS character. This tome would have been far more interesting and would have held my attention had it been half the length. 600 pages is laborious and presumptious. The characters were largely two dimensional. I had to force myself to finish this book, but some friends loaned it to me and wanted to discuss it, so I slogged through it. Less is more.
Rating: Summary: a barn burner Review: a long book, but reads fast hard book to put down constantly throws you curves keeps you on your toes lots of subtle and not-so-subtle innuendoes tricks and thrills good book
Rating: Summary: It's about time Review: If you're fed up with the daily newspaper and evening news accounts of Muslims killing Christians, Muslims killing Muslims, Christians killing Muslims, Protestants killing Catholics, Catholics killing Protestants, Hindus and Buhddists and this ethnic and that ethnic, on and on, each fighting and hating and destroying one another in the Name of their separate Gods, you will find this book very, very welcome. The concept put forth in this book is the most refreshing and rational answer to all this stupid religous zealotry that I've ever read. It reveals through humor, irony, satire and shock-therapy, something the whole world could benefit from. The message of tolerance is both affecting and effective and I hope anyone who has ever been sickened by the mounting accounts of religious hatred in the world take the opportunity to refresh their souls here.
Rating: Summary: An interesting, if disturbing book Review: I found myself with mixed emotions in reading this novel. In places, I felt very uneasy and even offended by where it seemed to be heading. My concerns were eventually mitigated with how the conflicts were resolved, but the novel is not one you just finish and walk away from. It left me with much food for thought. If such a frightening scenario as is depicted in this book actually were to take place, I am not so that the conclusions aren't right on the money. And that is what is so disturbing. This novel makes you look at some unsettling issues about religion and the foundations of morality that most of us never question. This is a very unique story and after I've had time to think about it for a while, I'll read it again.
Rating: Summary: Great reading! Review: A witty, fun, irreverent, fast-moving and frightening look at the advent of a new messiah. If you read only one book this year, it should definitely be this one!
Rating: Summary: Calm Down! Review: How can readers remain calm when a piece of great literature, the greatest ever written, clubs them with truth and revelation? Jeza changes the nature of one's very being! This book is spreading enlightement to our soon to be late great planet like the swine flu! The "thriller" aspects are easily dismissed as mindless drivel. It is the spirituality and deep thoughts of Jeza the Anointed One that teaches and ultimately saves.
Rating: Summary: Damn good page turner Review: Couldn't put it down. If you got two days to spare, pick this up and read it. A great story with a terrific payoff ending. Defintely a book with a kick to it.
Rating: Summary: People need to calm down! Review: People are making too much of this book. It is a very good thriller, but IT IS NOT GOSPEL! To read this book like it's the revised word of God is absurd! Kleier is not a prophet, and this book is not prophecy. It is FICTION! It is for entertainment. Save your worship for God!
Rating: Summary: Excellent Review: This is a very good book that I enjoyed immensely. However, it is not the New Bible, as some overzealous readers seem to think. Nothing in this novel, I don't believe, is meant to be taken literally. The novel is obviously written to appear like an accounting of a real event, which makes it appear more genuine than most novels, but it is still only fiction. I don't believe the author intended for anyone to become so absorbed in the story that they would see it as some sort of new religion or belief. People go too far if they begin to attach any sort of divine inspiration to what is unquestionably just a thriller novel.
