OK!, It's just about time for another Doomsday bestseller.

This was about as good as one of these books gets.Loaded with all kinds of information and opinion;in fact ample data to make the biggest prediction possible.The turning of the world upside down in 25 years .That allows plenty of time to promote the event,sell lots of books,have an endless run of TV specials,interviews,acedemic debates,plans for 'informed'believers and of course;survivors to start the whole thing over again.YK2000,was pretty good;got a lot of publicity,every good sized organization put up lots of money to ward off disaster .I guess it worked;all the world's systems just kept purring along like nothing happened. This book is worth keeping for all the "information" and sources of such.It would be very helpful to a writer who conducts a market analysis and determines it's just about time to get cracking on the next 'end it all'. I have been reading these "prediction" books for years and find them entertaining.And entertaining is what they are.Never has any prediction come to pass;but then would you be naive enough to expect it to? In all fairness we don't really understand much about the past;how could we hope to predict the future? Can't say as I remember anyone predicting the recent Tsunami. Don't forget the old adage "If you take the generally accepted wisdom at the time ;and take the totally opposite,you'll probably get closer to the truth". Agood example was the Population bomb and Zero Growth stuff of the 50's and 60's.We were all going to be starving to death here in North America.What happened,now we have a major overweight problem.And guess what;nobody predicted all these fast food joints.And what about the idea that computers were going to hugely reduce the amount of paper.Oh well,we can't get it right all the time.Once in a while,though might be fun!

Completely amazing!

Not the book, the fact that you're reading this considering that the world has already ended!

In the spirit of the day...

This being the May 5th, 2000 so prominently presented in the title, I felt compelled, almost required, to read this book. Let me tell you, it is much more that I had expected. I am a fan of Michael Crichton, and I have to say that this is entirely on the level of Andromeda Strain or Terminal Man. The research done on this book seems exhausting and it makes for a good work of fiction.However, if you are looking for something telling you about the REAL end of the world, I wouldn't suggest turning to this book. However, for those of you looking for a good read, I would definately recommend it.

FORGET WHAT YOU KNOW-THIS IS THE END!

More scientific/religious data here than a christian scientologist! All concepts and related topics are covered here: The pyramids at Giza and their relation to the end, the freemasons, geographical evidence, beautiful diagrams, very easy to understand. This book freaked us out so much, we named our band 5/5/2000! Good job, Richard! I had no idea the book was so old!

Fascinating reading eliciting fear, curiosity and hope.

The book reads with the flow of fiction. It provides historical and sometimes mystical insights which point-to Armeggedon. The book was impossible to stop reading; it was a personal quest for what could happen and when. While you may not be totally convinced that the world will end (as we know it) on may 5, 2000 Mr Noone provides details and assumptions based upon the Bible, modern and ancient scientific views and archaelogical finds that will provide the intrigue of a great mystery. You may leave this book with complete disbelief, a desire to learn more or maybe even a stronger spirituality. You will not be bored.
