A humorous overview of the end of the world, inspired by the Y2K debacle. Mostly very amusing, but somewhat uneven. Are the Four Horsemen really named John, Paul, George and Ringo? Glad I got around to reading it, even if I was 23 years late... ( )

The author has us follow him on his satire filled journey to determine how to predict the future and the end-of-times. The book was released before the year 2000 to be perfectly marketed for the end of the millennium which I am sure was the inspiration for the book. He not only looks at the predictions new age groups and fundamentalist but also looks back in time at other who have shared their ‘wisdom’ with us; such as Nostradamus and Plato. This tongue in check approach is a light, fun and fast read. ( )

A hilarious nonfiction book about all the times in human history when we thought the end of the world was coming. ( )

While it's a funny, cleverly-written book, it tends to dismiss religious beliefs, which I have. ( )
