This was a somewhat strange book. Was it a cautionary tale? A satire? There were moments when I wasn't sure whether I was supposed to be frightened or amused.The "post-apocalyptic" fundamentalist rapture trope gets a somewhat new angle in this book, which comes just shy of straining believability. I...
Die Rezension zu „Vivian versus America“ habe ich lange aufgeschoben. Anfangs habe ich andere Buchbesprechungen vorgezogen, weil ich gegen Ende des Jahres erst die Bücher abhaken wollte, die ich mir für Challenges anrechnen konnte. Als das erledigt war, wollte ich mich der Fortsetzung von „Vivian ve...
My reading choices have not been great in December. Man, I found this book really bland. Especially since its a Apocalyptic type story line. I couldn't get into the characters or the plot at all. Its lucky I finished it to be honest. Thousands of people suddenly disappear, including Vivan's paren...
And the award for most confusing book titles goes to - you may have guessed-: Vivian Apple Versus America. I definitely was confused because the American and UK names for this duology are completely different from each other and it doesn't make the slightest of sense with me. Just to make things cle...
„Vivian versus the Apocalypse“ habe ich dem Rolling Stone zu verdanken. Genauer gesagt, der Young Adult Bestenliste des Rolling Stone.

This was one of the reads I was looking forward to the most in 2014, but I didn't manage to read it till last month. Alternative Title: Vivian Apple versus the Apocalypse. Vivian didn't believe it when the end of the world was predicted, even though her parents were strong believers. Imagine he...
The one where I talk about the last three chapters. And the plot hole. This is a book that definitely requires willing suspension of disbelief, but even with that, I am troubled by the concept. There are both too few Believers raptured, and too many. Let me explain (and this review is about to b...
I think that I will probably write two reviews of this book, because I am of two distinct minds about it. This is the positive review. The negative review will come later, and will probably be longer. Vivian Apple At the End of the World is a book about the end times. It is a rather biting satir...
I couldn’t resist the idea of an Armageddon road trip and Vivian at the End of the World (originally published as Vivian Versus the Apocalypse) did not let me down--I read the book straight through because I couldn’t bear to stop. Sixteen-year-old Vivian had been on the meek side--she was the sort n...
