Armageddon Summer is a book that seemed promising but turned out to be rather tiresome. The premise is good but the writing is all over the place and lacks entertainment value.
The novel doesn't seemed planned out very well, the characters are flat and unappealing. The story does not captivate you and the ending is weak.
Take a pass on this book. There are way to many good books out there to waste your time reading this one.
Grade: D-

Synopsis (B&N)
The world will end on Thursday, July 27, 2000. At least, that's what Reverend Beelson has told his congregation. Why should the world end now, when Jed and Marina, two teenagers with more attitude than faith, have just fallen in love? Told in alternating chapters from both Jed's and Marina's points of view, this is a story about faith and friendship, love and loss...and the things that matter most at the end of the world.
This first-ever collaboration between master storytellers Jane Yolen and Bruce Coville is a timely story of first love and the End of the World. Told in alternating chapters from both Jed's and Marina's points of view, this first-ever collaboration between two masters of children's literature is a story about faith and friendship, love and loss ... and the things that matter most at the End of the World.
