Book Review: Vivian Versus the Apocalypse by Katie Coyle

Title: Vivian Versus the Apocalypse
Author: Katie Coyle
Published: 2013
Language: English
Pages: 288
Rating: 3/5


Summary:
A new religion has taken over America, calling itself "The Church of America", and the leader, Pastor Frick, has foretold that a Rapture will come, and six months later, the world will end. Vivian is at a mock Rapture party, not being a Believer... but when she comes home the next day, her parents are gone and there are two holes in the roof.

Wondering if her parents are still alive, Vivian embarks on a journey across the country to find out the truth.



Review:
I enjoyed reading this book. I really liked the religious aspect of it, where the country has been divided into Believers and Non-Believers, and I liked the portraying of how this has put a gap between Vivian and her parents. I also really enjoyed the small excerpts you get from The Book of Frick now and then.

I liked the characters, especially Harp, Vivians best friend, but I didn't fall in love with any of them. I did like that the little love story in the book didn't take too much space though. The middle part of the book felt a little slow, and although the ending was exciting, I didn't really like it.

I think this book is better suited for someone a little bit younger than me, and that's not really something I can blame the book for, but it does affect my rating. As I said, it was an enjoyable read, but for me, it ends there.

I do think this book would be very well suited for teens.
