This book knocks the stuffing out of Twilight and Vampire Academy, and yes, I have read both. The character development is a lot stronger, the relationships and plot are just sound. I was left guessing until the end what was actually going on. I loved the book so much, I actually struggled doing day-to-day activities because I always found myself reading this instead. An immediate fan.

John Updike is very engaging, you find yourself engrossed with the characters even as you see all their flaws and (really) weird idiosyncracies.

I had a hard time with the writing at the beginning of this book and really much prefer dogs to cats, but pushed through and was very glad that I did. I loved the philosophising on the cultural role of a library in a small town and all of its purposes. It is extemely telling in our economic times how important it is. My son just said he would never go to the library again because they got rid of the fish because of budget issues here. I truly think we as a people are a little slow in realizing the therapy and health values in healthy relationships with animals. Therapy cats and dogs are all the rage. And I believe they work. I really bought into the book by the end. Since I work with elderly all the time and love them--I loved this quote as Dewey is aging and everyone has their opinion as to what should be done with him, "They kept coming back to that...Dewey was hurting the image of the library...It was true, Dewey didn't look as appealing. Everybody ages. Eighty-year-old don't look like twenty-year-olds, and they shouldn't. We live in a throwaway culture that stashes older people away and tries not to look at them. They have wrinkles. They have age spots. They don't walk well and their hands shake. Their eyes are watery, or they drool when they eat, or they "burp in their pants" too much...We don't want to see that. Even the accomplished elderly, even the people who gave their whole lives, we want them out of sight and out of mind. But maybe older people, and old cats, have something to teach us, if not about the world, than about ourselves." AMEN!! Loved it! (and yes I was teary at the end). Love my dogs to pieces!

Although I generally like (love) doomsday books, I found The Road depressing beyond belief, to the point that I could hardly get through the book.

Here this wonderful narrator has become a "quaint old fossil." Instead of the freshfaced and inexperienced newcomer in the first books, now he has the experience of training new vets, raising his own family, and gradually settling into comfortable curmudgeonliness. I still want to give him a huge hug and sit with him by the fire and sip tea, even if this book has lost a touch of the narrative focus of the earlier ones.

Fun read! John Locke is a witty writer. The characters are endearing. I feel like I'm missing something though...there some to be some holes.
Wow!I've thought about the rapture before, but I never thought about it as if I was one of the people who didn't believe at that time. It was very sad and moving to read the parts of the story told from Rayford Steele's POV. And Carpathia REALLY freaked me out! I've only ever skimmed Revelations, because it's honestly pretty terrifying, and I figured there was no need to know about it.

I didn't want to read this book, but I bought it at the airport on my way to Germany and I got hooked! Very good read although the intensity is a bit much for the teenagers... I have this book if anybody wants to borrow it - paperback

Even though I am not an avid reader of fantasy novels, Tolkien's philosophy is mind-opening. I still quote one of his phrases in the book: "We all contain the seeds of evil which may be brought to germination by exposure to evil." I also find Tolkien's picture of human beings quite intersting: Contrary to the peaceloving, happy Hobbit people who live a life close to nature, man's strive for the superlative, or his insatiable hunger for more and more power makes him corruptible and eats him up until he is only a mere shadow of his former self. Interesting food for thought.
