December 21 2012 Network Blog

Each month I receive a lot of book, videos and other products related to 2012. The authors, publishers, producers and creators of these items send them to me for a number of reasons. Some are gifts of appreciation for my efforts in getting the word out about the coming events, most are sent to be included as part of our monthly product give-a-way and still others are sent with the hopes that I will write a positive review about the item. Although I don’t have the time or resources to personally evaluate and write a review on every item I get, every once in a while I do receive something that jumps out at me and I feel compelled to let others know about it.

2012 The Last Entries

A few weeks back I received a book entitled “2012 The Last Entries”. It’s a short book only a 140 pages. After opening the package, I immediately read the back cover as I often do to get an idea of what the book is about. That immediately sparked my interest, so out of curiosity I then read the last page of the book. After reading the last page, I thought to myself, “how in the hell could someone end a book like that?”

“2012 The Last Entries” is a book of fictional journal entries kept by six very different people in the year 2012. Beginning in January you get to know each of the six people sharing their stories with their personal diary entries. You quickly learn who they are, what they believe, and what they see in the towns they live in. As the year progresses, many strange climatic events occur in various parts of the world; each person giving their own account as they witness many terrible events first hand. The disasters have caused a chain reaction in their lives, food shortages, power outages, and loss of communication with the outside world.

As you read through the individual journal entries you begin to question your own ability to face what could be the final days of your life. What would you do? Where would you run and how would you react? You quickly become aware of some people’s inability to face impending doom and you understand the decisions that no mother should have to make.

I have read this book twice and will more then likely read it again between now and December 21 2012. For more information about “2012 The Last Entries”, visit their website at www.2012thelastentries.com or you can order the book here.
