Synopsis

Part 1 of the Vivian Apple series. Seventeen-year-old Vivian Apple never believed in the evangelical Church of America, unlike her recently devout parents. But when Vivian returns home the night after the supposed 'Rapture,' all that's left of her parents are two holes in the roof. Suddenly, she doesn't know who or what to believe. With her best friend Harp and a mysterious ally, Peter, Vivian embarks on a desperate cross-country roadtrip through a paranoid and panic-stricken America to find answers. Because at the end of the world, Vivan Apple isn't looking for a savior. She's looking for the truth. Starred review. "...impressive...(a) smart, sober novel...Don’t be misled by the sunny title and cover image: this is a gritty, often troubling work that is nevertheless infused with humor and heart." - Booklist

2.5 Stars Have you ever wanted to like a book so much that you actually tried to pretend you did? Like during the actual reading of the book, you feigned enthusiasm, ignored things that drove you crazy? I gave that a solid effort, but in the end, I just couldn't. I am sad about this, just so we're on......more

Goodreads review by Victor on December 06, 2021

Um bom entretenimento, às vezes bobinho, mas uma leitura divertida no geral. Acho que fico em **3.5**. O livro traz uma visão sobre religião, fanatismo e manipulação da sociedade de uma forma muito bacana. A adaptação e o conceito da religião no mundo do livro é bem diferente (até meio engraçado), ma......more
