Book Reviews of Lucifer's Hammer

Book Review: THIS ONE WILL STAY WITH ME FOR YEARS TO COME!!!
Summary: 4 Stars

Okay, I will admit that I almost did not finish the book. I felt that the beginning was somewhat dry. Then...BAM...the Hammer hits and the book becomes so good that I don't want to set it down at all. I really do not understand the racist comments about the book. White people were the ones being eaten and called "honkies". Who knows what would really happen in this kind of scenario? It does make you think though. All in all, an excellent book and I can't wait to read Footfall.

Summary of Lucifer's Hammer

The gigantic comet had slammed into Earth, forging earthquakes a thousand times too powerful to measure on the Richter scale, tidal waves thousands of feet high. Cities were turned into oceans; oceans turned into steam. It was the beginning of a new Ice Age and the end of civilization. But for the terrified men and women chance had saved, it was also the dawn of a new struggle for survival--a struggle more dangerous and challenging than any they had ever known....
"Massively entertaining."
