This book was really good to about 3/4 the way through. I didn't notice until then that this book is a sermon about Christianity and the evil that tries to destroy it. The story was good, the proselytizing got a little out of hand.

It's a fun book if you like conspiracy and the end of the world stuff, which I do. I enjoyed reading this.

If you're into ancient mysticism, this fictional account of a secret group and an ancient conspiracy, you'll enjoy this one.

I really liked this book. It made me think of how closely it relates to the world we live in today and just put my walk in perspective, will I be ready? It's definitely an eye opener

I was looking for something that had more facts than fiction about the Illuminate.

Scared

I enjoyed the book, but it did frightened me. To think that God and this great country could be manipulatived is now comprehensible.

Horrible. In 200 pages we have read about: an impeached president, a killer tsunami in Californa, the mother of all earthquakes in Tokyo, a murdered president, all the oil in the world stolen Israel using slant wells, atomic bomb retaliation, cobalt bomb threats, Christian death camps in the USA (really? yes, really), an impeached USA Congress, a satanistic leader that rules the earth, a money-free economy, complete anarchy and martial law in the US, a computer controled monetary system - oh no it controls everything, China, Japan and Iran going to war in Israel, IDs tatooed on every individual, Christian resistance groups, and a super hacker that "fights" for the good guys. Too much sir! How can you seriously compress that in 200 pages? Oh, add to that no character development but glad we gt descriptions of the holy priest, the supersmart computer nerd that falls in love, the nazi-FBI camp guard that likes to strip women forcefully (really? yes really), the Hitler-like bad guy dictator man, and a complete distorted compression of event timing. And all under the nonsense title of "Illuminati". The Christian theme in the book was just annoying. Sadly there was no virus attack or a plague of grasshoppers, that would have completed everything.

Why the hell would you write a story that copies the horrible WW2 Jew genocide by the Nazis to modern USA and Christians under the title "Illuminati". It really freaks me out. As I was expecting a near-future thriller around a shadowy power group (Illuminati) and their power plays as the titel and summary on the back cover states, this book does not make sense at all. I like near future thrillers (Suarez and others), but this was so over the top it was hillariously funny (please include grasshoppers the next time). That was also the reason I finished the book, just for the laughs. But for a humoristic tale it is actually also really bad. No stars. Oh you have to give 1. There you go.

I read this book when I was in high school.. and i red it again last month. Good book.

Novel - interesting read, quick read. Launches itself off the concept of the illunimati, but soon goes totally away from what I have read in the past.

Tripe.

I have the updated version from 2004. It is the original book, but with updated times, people, etc. Instead of it all happening in 2001, it's 2015.
I am getting towards the end of it. Even though it's a christian book, it's a very good read. When I started it less than a week ago, the first few pages didn't quite grab me. But when the earthquake in Japan happened, and the tsunami on the west coast, it caught my attention. It just got better and better from there. The conspiracy to eradicate the christians and the jews and anyone that helped them is all very scary. A government gone mad and wanting to take over the world. Hey, that sounds a lot like what is going on now in Congress. ;) It really makes you think and you may never feel the same way about the government again after reading this.
If I would have heeded the bad reviews on this book, I would have missed a very good read! I am just sorry that I will be finishing it tomorrow.

I read it a long time ago, but remember that I really enjoyed it.
