I enjoyed the storyline up until the climax, or last few chapters into the author's notes. While I profoundly respect Judaism, I feel this book was yet another biased attempt to try and make Christianity look like a fanatical cult.

DaVinci Code knock-off, but using Jewish mythology. Not bad, but predictable. The characters are a bit wooden. The main character seems a bit slow-witted, and the author states the obvious a few times too often.

This is the first "End of the World as We Know It" fiction I've ever read that is written from an Hassidic Jewish point of view. A very refreshing change! Well written and scary as heck! I'd like to meet some of these characters again.

Just loved this! I enjoyed it more than the DaVinci Code - I liked the focus on Judaism. Not being of the Jewish faith, it was a learning experience as well as a great novel.
