Count Down: January

This is the first book in a 12 book series that takes place in the year 1999. In this book, everyone over 21 begins to die. Will everyone under 21 make it through the year? A great book and a great series. Of course, what happens in the year 1999 didn't really happen. And it's far fected. But, an interesting series, anyways.

The best beginning to a series

This book has got to be one of the nest I have read in a while. It keeps you on the edge of your seat while you read from chapter to chapter. If you like suspenseful books about the end of the world this series is perfect for you.

Awesome, one of my favorite books ever!

As soon as I finished this book I ran out and got the second and third books, and I got the rest as soon as they came out! Countdown is my favorite series ever. I was sorry it ended at #12 but it was a great ending. Everyone should read this series!

Join the Countdown

This is the best series I've seen around for a while. In my book, it's up there with Everworld and Body of Evidence. In fact, I think it's even better than those. Daniel Parker is a fab writer. The plot of Countdown is amazing. You've never seen characters more real. Some of the detail gets really creepy. You'll love it.In this phenomenal story, the apocalypse is coming. The only people who stand against the end of the world as we know it are a bunch of teenagers. And they're destroying themselves among each other...If you want to know more about Countdown, or know any mailing lists for it, or just want to email me and gush about its coolness, contact me.p.s. Trevor is not a pervert!

Great!!!

This book was AWESOME, like someone said before me, it keeps you at the edge of your seat. It's about how the world is coming to an end. If you have read Revalation(spelling?)it's like that, only it's kinda in a Hebrew(Jewish) way. Kids and adults die...They say only Teenagers are left...But no where in the book does it say that 13-15 are alive...Which is weird. Anyways, get this book. I have read Jan.-March. They're all great. I'll be reading all of them for sure. yup I'm a book nerd.Another great book is Senior Year: Can't Stay Away, By: Francine Pascal. It's not anything like these type of books. Just a suggestion though.
