Summary: Could not put this down!
Review: I just simply loved this book and could not put it down. I read it all in one day. This was very exciting and kept me guessing what was going to happen next. It did an awesome job of developing the characters on an individual basis while at the same time showing what was happening in the world on a broader scale. I generally don't like too many subplots, but the romance subplot in this book was excellent. While "Megiddo" may not be as Biblically accurate as the Left Behind series, I find it much more entertaining to read. As a Christian I feel believers and non-believers alike will enjoy this book.

I am definitely looking forward to seeing the movie version when it comes out in theatres!

Summary: The film is better
Review: Message aside, this is not a well-written novel. There's a lot of repetition, as if the authors either don't trust the writing to be able to communicate, or they don't trust the reader to follow the story.

Also, the book is formatted oddly, with new "chapters" beginning on separate pages with nearly every new scene in the book. This makes for over 50 chapters and VERY choppy reading.

The movie is much better, and ends differently from the novel. (They shot 2 endings and picked one that's different from the one in the book.) There are photos from the film, but none of the actors are named in it at all.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Characters
Review: The dramatic story line of "Megiddo" will keep readers wide awake and turning page after page. The characters are well developed and totally plausable. The use of brothers representing good and evil was well developed as was the entire action packed book. If you are looking for a captivating and fast paced read, pick up a copy of "Megiddo."

Summary: A very good end times thriller A true page turner
Review: This book is great it combines romance and betrayal with a fast paced roller coaster ride through the Tribulation and the final battle Armageddon! Stone Alexander was a great character, as the Antichrist he really captured the essence of this soon to come leader in all his evil. the end will leave you breathless. Can't wait for the movie

Summary: Not a Christian Book
Review: This book is not a Christian book. It has swear words in it. It has one of the leading person praying to Mary. The person who tries to save the world is not a Christian he had never been in a church. The author did a terrible job with the Bible. No one will get saved reading this book. It makes people believe that you can walk the wide path and still go to heaven.

Summary: Spiritual Warfare
Review: This book is phenomenal. I read anything spiritual, regilious, or generally metaphysically minded; and this book is the apex. I've read all the Left Behind; Soul Harvest series; and though they have some good points; they can't begin to match these authors fine style of writing; their ability to get into the heart and soul of a character so that you truly understand every thought they have; every breath they take; every action they undertake. It's basically a love triangle set against an apocalyptic background; and the story of two brothers love for the same woman. The fact that one of the brothers basically has to "save the world," while the other is trying his best to destroy it--only heightens the tension and excitement. This book most reminds me of The Mists of Avalon. It has the same epic scope; the same feeling of actually being "inside" the characters; and a similar tone; almost nostaglic at times. But unlike Mists; Megiddo is set for the most part in the present day; and the authors have a keen and sardonic wit. The dialogue between the brothers indicate that the authors are certainly big on the whole Robert Bly; John Bradshaw "inner child" concept; with the lack of communication among the father and his sons being the root of not only their own discontent--but a discontent furious enough to bring the world to its knees, and almost to its destruction.
You don't have to be a Christian to love Megiddo; any more than you have to be Pagan to love the Mists of Avalon. My spiritual foundations take in the beauties of all religions and philosophies. We see the beauty of a Jewish rabbi trying to come to terms with the devastation around him; and basically finding redemption through the love of his own son. We find characters who have strong faith; and others who are struggling to find anything to believe it. Wherever you fit in this particular spectrum; you will find Megiddo a worthwhile read. Hope from more from these authors.
