I bought this book because of all the buzz I heard about it. Even as I was buying the book, people at the bookstore commented on it, saying how much they liked the series.
I was hugely disappointed. I was hoping for a book that addressed the endtime prophecies of the Bible in an intelligent way. This is not that book. I couldn't even finish it. When I got to the part about the miracle fertilizer that turned Israel into a virtual greenhouse, I gave up. This was only about 8 pages into the book. I just found the idea of a "miracle" fertilizer too silly and the explanation of Israel's newfound peace and prosperity too pat.
Yes, this book is packed full of drama and angst. But it is built on a foundation of nonsense. I couldn't swallow it. But lots have and loved it.
