I came across the books when Jenny recommende it in the "Apocalypse Movie" Thread and I must say that its one of the best books I've ever read.
The Atmosphere and the way its written is brilliant...
Highly Recommende
Just needed to share that Smile

Dunno if it should be moved to the useless void

Are you sure it wasn't me who recommended it? Razz

It is a really good book, although a bit too religious for my liking. Did you read the extended edition?

Also try the other books I mention in the thread, as you'll probably enjoy those if you enjoyed 'The Stand'.

Have you read Angels and Demons.

Personally i enjoyed it more than Da Vinci Code, but both are great reads.
