Awful. The author of this book points to various "scientific" bits of evidence of how the world may end sooner rather than later. Earth's magnetic field failing, mega-volcanoes, asteroids, etc. His science is dubious at best, and the "experts" interviewed for the book are laughable.

I could have looked past all that and still somewhat enjoyed the book as pseudo-fiction. However, my enjoyment was beaten to a bloody pulp by the author's constant posturing and self-glorification. Not to mention the frequent advertising plugs he gives his company.

Most of what I remember about this book is the author ruminating on his personal relationships, bragging about all the traveling he's done, and dropping the occasional name.

Don't. Waste. Your. Time.

This book gives you insight as to what might happen to the earth and the world as we know it. Some of the studies and predictions seem a little far out. Anything is possible, the planet earth as we know it can not survive forever. The book is titled "Apocalypse 2012", however according to the author any of the disasters could happen before or even after 2012. There is some evidence that disasters are already in the preliminary stages. What really caught my attention is current events happening today in our life with the Chile earthquake. There was a news media saying that Chile's Earthquake likely Shifted Earth's Axis, Shortening The Day. Which to me goes hand in hand with what the author has written. You need to have an open mind and take the information with a grain of salt. Some of the things written may be controversial and even seem far fetch, but none the less it is a great book to read.

I loved this book! I liked the science and was kept interested throughout! It was full of all the information I had heard of in the past and was clear and concise. I got it from my library and plan on buying it soon.
The author is not saying that he believes this stuff is going to happen. He's just doing the research on what others have said and putting it together in one book for those of us who like everything all in one book.
Thank you to the author for writing this book. :-)
