This prose from its beginning to its ending confused me. At first, I thought it was like the movie 2012 however as I read not farther than a few pages I realized it contains a totally different plot, a different technique... I was amazed that the author itself would answer the confusing words he wrote straightforward like why he also do not know why the train operates without its operator and without everyone else.Even at the epilogue I would I admit I told myself, "Hey, what's happening in here??". But it was cool it didn't occur to me that they're for some reason the one who died. And YET still I don't understand the story. Who's MAya? Is she a MAyan? WHat is the device that she's holding? In the real life who is Ferret? How come Bowen ended up with a different story in the another life? Where did they go, I mean their bodies? On 12/21/12 @ 12:21:12 everyone in the world disappears....except 5 people. This book is a short quick read and I enjoyed the story, it's just I like more character driven books. As this book is only around 100 pages, there is not a lot of wriggle room to develop the characters. Some parts of the story felt rushed but again, I guess that might be due to it being a shorter story. I honestly don't know if I understood the ending. I was kind of like, "huh?" I had a flashback the the finale episode of the tv series LOST. Yeah. Or maybe I was in the Twilight Zone...(cue music)
What do You think about 122112 (2012)?
fast read. ridiculous story culminating in a would be grasp at alternate timeline theory.

Didn't seem like a complete book to me. Went from being very good to ... the end.

Don't waste your time. The end made this book a complete fail, in my opinion.

The end confused me. It was an OK book I guess. Too much whining though.
