Summary: Wonderful beginning
Review: This book got me interested in reading again. I am a teenager, but I lack teenage tastes so this book was a bit of a stretch for me. It suprised me greatly when I read the first page and found that I loved it! The story is well written and quite enjoyable.

Summary: My Review
Review: Armageddon Summer is a book about a girl named Marina and a boy named Jed. They both are forced to go live on top of a place called Mt. Weeupcut because the pastor at their church named Reverend Beelson, had a dream that on July 27, 2000 it was going to be the end of the world. July 27 is also Marina's birthday. Both Marina's dad and Jed's mom didn't go to the mountain with them so they are both worried that if Armageddon really does come that they will die. Marina is what the people call a "Believer". Jed doesn't believe that it is actually going to be the end of the world. All he thinks is that Beelson and his 144 "Believers" are a bunch of wierdos. But, when Jed and Marina meet each other on top of the mountain they both fall in love. And they both wonder why Armageddon had to come when they loved someone for the first time in their life.

Summary: Sure to be a classic
Review: What an awesome book, a great read for teens at the dawning of the new millenium.

It's great to see a book out about the spreading of millenium cult that doesn't automatically side with the cynics (such as myself). The book gives great insight from both a cynic and a believer as if they were real people.

A fun and easy to read book.

Summary: Outstanding Book!
Review: Armageddon Summer kept me on the edge of my seat! When I got to the ending, I could not put it down! Sad, yet thrilling, and with some comical relief, it was a great book. Throughout the entire book, questions kept running through my mind. Will the world really end? What will happen to Jed and Marina? When I came to the end, I have to say I did shed some tears and I also caught myself holding my breath. When I was all finished, I wanted more. It was a wonderful book and I could not put it down. The historical accuracy in this book was correct also. It was all about a cult, and this was accurate for the years 1999-2000 because of the many happenings with cults in the past two years.

Summary: Armageddon Summer is on fire!
Review: Armageddon Summer, a novel by Jane Yolen & Bruce Coville, is a modern story about a cult-like group lead by Reverend Raymond Beelson and his followers, known as the Beelsonite Believers. Reverend Beelson prophesizes that the world will end July 27, 2000, in an Armageddon event that will destroy the earth except for 144 people, a sacred, superstitious number from scriptures. This is the only way that Jed, Marina and their families would survive the world ending in fire. They were roped into the group by their parents and wished they weren't. Soon after, their destiny crosses and they soon help to get the mad, eccentric people that believe what the Reverend has told them to a calm. The plot twists as the deadline grows closer and the story gets very exciting, and as a reader, I enjoyed that and this novel because it kept my attention. I would consider referring this book to a young adult that was interested in a science-fiction novel.

Review: I enjoyed this book because it really captured how Jed and Marina were feeling and it made sense. It seemed to me that the entire book was building up the suspense- is or isn't the world going to end on July 27? I couldn't put it down!!!

Summary: Armageddon Summer
Review: I really enjoyed this book. The characters are very believable and the situations are real life. I found myself wondering what was really going to happen to them in the end of the book. A touching story of two young people searching for true understanding of themselves and finding out that they are also better able to deal with not only their own emotions, but also the situations they find themselves in.
