Title: A novel for the times
Review: This novel has been the subject of hot debate at our book club meetings. It seems that everyone who reads it interprets it differently. Regardless, it is a wonderful, highly entertaining read. It's like reading two books in one--an engrossing mystery/suspense thriller, and a dead-on accurate satire/commentary about current socio-theological events in the world. Few works of fiction make that kind of contribution to literature--Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, or Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged are two such works that spring to mind. The Last Day leaves you with that same sort of feeling; that you've just read a very special work of rare intelligence and value.
