A dark and poetic look into the End of the World."Can one man really make a difference? Is the road to Hell truly paved with good intentions? Will the world really end not with a bang, but with a whimper? Ms. Spiller offers her answer to all of these questions in her dark and poetic look into the end of mankind. The narrator is a mysterious omniscient poet, who speaks directly to the reader much like the Muses in an ancient tragedy. The narrator looks back on the events of the book some time after The End has occurred. "The book is full of ironies and symbols. The story of The End takes place over the course of seven days, an ironic parallel of The Creation. Ms. Spiller's concept of Hell is portrayed as a shattered and broken world, yet shockingly similar to the world around us in the present day. The End of the World, we find, is not caused by a nuclear holocaust, or global warming, or an incurable disease; but rather the simple but deadly combination of good intentions, and misguided decisions. "The concept and the story are excellent, insightful and hypnotic. This book is a quick read, but it will make a lasting impression. Highly recommended!"-Chris Tringali, as posted at Amazon.com
