Product Description

Book Description

From before the time of Christ, there have been rumors of a secret society called The Illuminati...a vicious tribe of Druids with mystical, supernatural powers. Many saw them as demons or gods. Those who opposed them simply disappeared...or met an even worse fate. Unknown to all but the very few, this group slowly infiltrated world organizations and financial institutions with a singular goal--to control the worlds economic system. Now fast-forward to the year 2020. The Illuninati has succeeded in placing one of their people in the office of the presidency of the United States. With the worldwide launch of a financial system know as Data-Net, they gain unlimited power. How do you escape an unknown enemy operating at the highest levels who can track you every move? --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

1.0 out of 5 stars relatively good idea, but desperately spoiled, April 14 2000

This review is from: The Illuminati (Paperback)

This is the first "Illuminati" book I've read so far and I'd like to share my utter disappointment.

1. The plot is EXTREMELY WEAK. In fact it is so lousy and predictable that I gets even funny - pretty much like watching a really bad movie - you actually start enjoying it towards the end...

2. The Author doesn't have a slightest clue about computers, yet 2/3 of the book deals with "computer stuff." Those of you having some minor understanding of computer terminology will be abhorred by meaningless collection of buzzwords intended to impress those raised in Nebraska (no pun intended ;). My personal favorite is (page 168):

"He had simply commanded the central computer controller to interrupt Loo's "trap" and then reinstate it once Jeff had access to the main compiler."

I'll appreciate if someone, personally acquainted with the Author would give him some "Computer for a complete Idiot" book as a gift.

3. Finally, the Author is a devoted protestant and so is the book. The good guys are protestants (with some Jewish people mixed in). The bad guys are abortion supporters (represented as killing children for organs in the book), gays, freemasons, and all kinds of sadists and perverts. The author gets completely delirious towards the end...

To summarize, if you haven't left the Bob Jones University campus for 5 years, this is a book for you. Otherwise, don't even bother.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good but you must ignore the real history., Feb 1 2011

By

RW Todd - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Illuminati (Paperback)

The story is written along the lines of Phillip Roth's The Plot Against America though not nearly as well written.

The plot has holes you could drive a semi through and the history of the real Illuminati is so skewed that it doesn't even resemble the historical Illuminati.

Overall I found it a good read, not challenging but for Christian literature it's a five star novel. If you're comparing it to truly great books, it's lacking but I would say it's an enjoyable read but don't expect much.

1.0 out of 5 stars storyline goes nowhere, Oct 9 2009

This review is from: The Illuminati (Paperback)

This book started out okay for me, but the storyline never went anywhere. More than halfway through the book, I gave up and stopped reading it. The basic plot had lots of potential, but as I said, the storyline went nowhere and wasn't even close to keeping my interest.
