Summary: An Easy and Fun Read
Review: On July 27, 2000, the world as we know it will end, or at least that's what two young teenagers have been told. Brought along with their parents on the road to the end of the world, Jed and Marina are sharing the same unique experience: preparing for Armageddon. According to Reverend Beelson, the person that started the Armageddon scare, the 144 "Believers", or the people that will live through the end of the world, must live on a mountaintop where they will be saved from God's wrath. This means that they will live in tents and eat canned food until the world beneath them is destroyed. Jed and Marina must both decide weather or not they believe this. While they are making up their mind, they have to share the workload of creating a camp for these people and try to put up with their parents' hopefully temporary insanity. This was a fun and easy book to read. The authors to a great job of giving the reader two different perspectives of the same strange ordeal. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good story, no matter what age. It's quick and easy to get through and won't take up too much of your time, and it's very entertaining.

Summary: Believe it or not!
Review: I'd like to compare this book to a roller coaster. When you start on this book it goes slow but climbing up the hill getting more interesting, though it does do down the hill, it climbs right back to the top. When you stop this reading this book for a short time it leaves you wondering, what will happen next? This book starts out as the main characters Marina and Jed are dragged to Mount Weeupcut by their parents, whose their pastor, Reverand Beelson and the believers, beleive that the world will vanish in a blaze of fire called Armageddon and that they will be saved by God if the 144 beleivers go to this mountain. They retreat up there bringing necessities and protection (weapons, to keep them safe and others out,non-beleivers). Jed, as well as Marina, question if they really do beleive all this which is happening and about God. Jed and Marina finally meet each other there, and they have both fall in love with each other for the first time. Though this has sort of a romance setting it is not a romantic novel, for those (like me) who aren't intrested in that sort of stuff. This book also has a religous setting which will get you thinking. Like this book, I will leave you wondering of what does and will happen next.

Summary: Compassionate and understanding treatment of its subjects
Review: This is really a great book that deals extremely well with its difficult and touchy subject matter. This book would have greatly suffered had the authors chosen to view the characters in a more black-and-white fashion (it would have been easy to portray the cult's leader as a power-hungry and maniacal manipulator, for example). However, each character is handled with much more understanding, and that's one of the truly great aspects of this story. Why people believe what they do, how those beliefs can take on new intensity in response to various events in a person's life, and the danger of attaching specifics to those beliefs (like proclaiming the exact date of the end of the world and the precise number of people who will survive it) are the major themes of this story. The authors are not evangelical; rather, they bring up issues for careful consideration that are applicable to faith and religion in general. It is thought-provoking and important, and I wish that I had this book to read when I was younger (I am 29 now). There is a small amount of mild profanity, and the ending has some pretty intense moments, so I would say this book is most appropriate for ages 12+.

Summary: Reluctant reader?? Try this one!
Review: I've never been one for reading, so when i was assigned a book to read for a class I looked to my brother's collection on his shelves, and I'm glad I picked up this one! Even the most reluctant reader (i.e. me) can thoroughly enjoy this piece.
It is a no nonsense book that does not take one-third of it to get to the point and the action. Right from the start you see the plot, characters, and suspense build keeping you turning the page. Even during breaks in classes I was reading. Get this one anyway you can, it is worth it.

Summary: Unusual plot, realistic characters
Review: This book made me think which is always a plus! The unusual plot and realistic characters grabbed my attention right away. Jane Yolen and Bruce Coville did a superb job of giving the characters their own distinct voices. Long after the last page is read, the reader will be thinking about those people whose lives were lost or destroyed because they let someone else do their thinking.

Summary: Kind of Scary if You think about it.
Review: I really enjoyed this book.It is unlike anything I have ever read. It is interesting to see what it is like to be apart of a religious cult who think the world is going to end. The scary part for me is that MY BIRTHDAY IS ON JULY 27TH!!!! I am NOT kidding. It really scared me, even though I knew the world wasn't going to end. I could really relate to Marina because I would've felt the same way if my birthday was the supposed end of the world.

Summary: Armageddon's Summer by Jane Yolen and Bruce Coville
Review: "The world is going to end in a fiery Armageddon! Take cover on Mount Weepucut all you believers!"
Jane Yolen's crazy imagination was defiantly brought out in this awesome book that combines romance and science fiction together to make a really good read for imaginative people. There are so many things that eventually lead up to the eventful ending of the book while you are trying to find the answer to a couple of mysterious questions.
The book is one of those books about two totally different people who eventually come together and to find out they have something in common after all. Armageddon's Summer is full of suspense and it will make you wonder what is going to come up next. I think this is one of Jane Yolen's best pieces because there are surprises in every knick and cranny of it.

Summary: Great book!
Review: I have not read many great books from two different points of wiew such as this. This is a book that gets you hooked from the beginning pages. Once I started reading it I couldn't stop. This book is suitable for ages 10-100. The author does a good job on not letting the book die down in any parts of the story. I recommend that you read this amazing story.
