Liked It “After reading this book I sort of feel that I just sat through a really long science, mythology, and physics class. The facts were interesting enough to keep me reading but the actual story lacked a little bit. Still a good read.” see full review » see other reviews » |
Didn’t Like It “I was overwhelmed by certain parts delving into scientific areas of which I have no knowledge. Exposure to "new" in small bits is a good thing, but I struggled to finish this one. I hate to give up on a book but completion was forced.....interesting concepts, though. I read one comment about...” see full review » see other reviews » |

“This book has a great premise, but it gets bogged down in technical detail. The language is very scientific, and dull and hard to follow. I got a hundred pages into it and the plot was slow, the language was boring and I quit.”

“The only reason this gets a 3-star is because all of the information that Pavlou brings together, and how he brings it together, is very fascinating and freakishly plausible. The science is very heavy, which I love, but the plot, characters, and most other things in this book suffer. The climax is rather ridiculous, even though the concepts throughout are fascinating. Recommended only if you like freaky science pulled together to spell out the end of the world and don't read it for the story itself. Either way, I'll be happy to survive 2012.”

“The craziest, insane, best book ever. If you like fiction and non fiction together. This book will really make you think about who we are and where are were really going as humans.”

“This book is currently number one on my list of fave books. I love the brainy bits, the mythical bits, the action...I became so engrossed in all the different genesis myths that I was beginning to hope that there really was a book by a Dr. Scott about all those myths...hahaha...I highly recommend this book to anyone that loves to gain tangy new knowledge...

“One of those books I could read over and over again. I seem ot have a bit of an obsession with any book that has even the slightest link to the Atlantis myth. There's a lot to take in, and lots of characters to try and keep up with but if you like a fast paced but slightly silly thriller I highly recommend it!”

I hate to give up on a book but completion was forced.....interesting concepts, though. I read one comment about the difficulty in following story line back and forth from continent to continent. I agree, but was not disappointed in having read it.”
