End Times Anna Schumacher Books
Well, it's definitely a teen book - angst and all. Biggest problem is that the author has never been to Elk Mountain, Wyoming. If she had, she would know that Elk Mountain is not accessible to the public, and no one is allowed to build houses on it. She would also know that Carbon City is a tiny ghost town...just saying that some research would have helped.Tags : Amazon.com: End Times (9781595147486): Anna Schumacher: Books,Anna Schumacher,End Times,Razorbill,1595147489,Fantasy - General,Romance - General,Social Themes - Values & Virtues,End of the world;Fiction.,Family life;Wyoming;Fiction.,Oracles;Fiction.,Children's Books - Young Adult Fiction,Children: Young Adult (Gr. 7-9),End of the world,Family life,Fantasy & Magic,Fiction,Juvenile Fiction Fantasy & Magic,Juvenile Fiction Social Themes Dating & Relationships,Juvenile Fiction Social Themes Values & Virtues,Oracles,Social Issues - Dating & Sex,Social Issues - Values,Wyoming,YOUNG ADULT FICTION,Young Adult Fiction Fantasy General,Young Adult Fiction Romance General,Young Adult Fiction Social Themes Values & Virtues
End Times Anna Schumacher Books Reviews
It was all Daphne's fault. Her mother blamed her when she defended herself from her predatory stepfather and the evil dude died. No matter what she did she was wrong. Why then, are ethereal trumpets sounding when she arrives in the dusty, dried-up Wyoming town seeking refuge with her real father's family? Why do things start to go right here tho she's hiding her guilty secret, so far from Detroit? Not everything is perfect, for sure - her cousin's babydaddy is a scary bully - but at least her uncle's family cares for her and then... a miracle! The desperately poor town flourishes, she gets a good job and a most mysterious boyfriend.
Anna Schumacher deftly mixes small-town Wyoming culture and the lives and language of young adults whose main passion is Motocross, with oil-strike reality and something eerie coming from a lost hippie commune, something with the power to transform everything... with a Prophecy. But how to tell who's good and who's evil? Who are the Children of the Earth? How are Daphne's talented trick-biker boyfriend Owen and his "sister" Luna who have appeared - almost vaporized - onto the scene involved with whatever this force may be? Will Daphne and Owen survive the evil of blame that would like to sweep them under? Are these End Times?
Take the chapter in which we learn about a full-moon orgy years ago at the commune where Owen and Luna were conceived. It starts with the prophetic dreams both are having, goes on with Luna's explanation about what happened that night that still does not satisfy serious Owen's longing to know his origin, and includes a scene where Luna coolly acquires two twenties to pay for their oversized breakfast. The writing is hip and smooth and fun. It reads easily but is never trite.
Throughout the plot is persuasive, the action riveting, and there's just the right touch of eeriness. Best yet, those of us who love serial novels can look forward to more as this, "The Prophet Emerges", is just the first in this young author's series about the Rapture.
This review was written thanks to the loan of an Advance Reading Copy.
Firstly, the book cover was really rough and uncomfortable in your hand. It looks nice, but it was so rough in my hand I wound up taping a ziplock bag over it so I could stand to hold it long enough to read it. Secondly, this is NOT BIBLICAL end times. I don't think the author is versed in Bible prophecy at all. I think the title "End Times" is deceptive hoping to draw in readers thinking it is a fictional story along the lines of Left Hehind, etc. It isn't Biblical at all and the few scriptures quoted isn't accurate either. The Bible is quoted in "Corinthians" and "Thessalonians". If the author had opened a Bible she would have seen both Corinthians and Thessalonians are broken down to FIRST Corinthians, SECOND Corinthians, FIRST Thessalonians and SECOND Thessalonians. There is no "Corinthians and Thessalonians". There is a storyline involving an ancient ARAMAIC tablet being discovered and instead of it being discovered in the Middle East where you would except an ancient Aramaic tablet to be found, it's found in...Wyoming. Really?...The story apart from the tablet and prophecy portion is interesting and had good potential, but the fouled up quotations and lack of accurate End Times scenario ruined it. Then the story just ends like the author ran out of ideas. She more than likely is planning a sequel but at least end the first one in an interesting way! This book had so much potential. I had s
Awesome book. Loved it. Finished it in one sitting. I hope there is another on the way. Loved the characters.
Although I may not be a seventeen year old girl, I've read more than my fair share of dystopian YA fiction. Newcomer Anna Schumacher is poised to breathe new life into a genre that was fast becoming an endless stream of cliches and stock plots. Her writing is evoking and compelling, and her characters are thoroughly believable and relatable. End Times left me entirely drawn into the world of Carbon County and eagerly awaiting the next book in the series!
I normally read mysteries or legal thrillers but this sounded intriguing. And it was - I found myself caught up in the strange little world of these characters. Each one had a unique personality and I loved how we got to see the different views of the same events. By the end when they started to all tie together, I was disappointed that I have to wait to read the next book!
This is one of those books, like Harry Potter, that has a young heroine but is meant for an audience of any age. The author tells a good story that holds a persons interest but also covers a religious subject without being preachy. Any one who enjoyed the Left Behind series will like this book.
I loved this book. Excellent story telling, totally loveable and understandable characters, and a story I had to keep following. Who knew dirt bikes and teeny towns could be so compelling.
Well, it's definitely a teen book - angst and all. Biggest problem is that the author has never been to Elk Mountain, Wyoming. If she had, she would know that Elk Mountain is not accessible to the public, and no one is allowed to build houses on it. She would also know that Carbon City is a tiny ghost town...just saying that some research would have helped.
