Product Description:
For the past two millennia, there has been a Cold War between Heaven and Hell. In that time, Earth has served as the neutral zone between the two powers with humanity the pawns in a conflict whose origins remain shrouded in legend. Tonight, that all changes, as one mortal disturbs that fragile balance. Matthew Ford is a common man, struggling through college while attempting to discover his destiny. Antisocial, passive aggressive, and immature beyond belief, this flawed person sets into motion that final prophecy that leads to the End of Days. He travels to Heaven, is tempted by Hell, gets into a feud with Jesus, meets the moronic leader of the free world, creates a self-help movement that tears the world apart, and leads the final zombie charge on Mount Megiddo in that last conflict of all time, Armageddon.

I blue this book because one review claimed that it was better than Christopher Moore's "Lamb". It wasn't. And yet it was still a darn good book.
Basic story is this: Average college guy is having a bad day. Bad day turns worse when angels capture him. Day gets even worse after that after he meets Jesus in Heaven, who incidentally, turns out to be a jerk. Apocalypse ensues.
The story itself is only average-ly written, almost like what you would expect from a high- school honors class english assignment. The story itself is incredibly engaging, though.
All in all, not as good as "Lamb", but still definitely worth your time if this is the sort of story you go for.

This book can be summed up with three words: Ha ha ha. I really don't care about people being offended. Political correctness is the second most rediculous concept ever, after affirmative action. This book makes fun of everything, and rightfully so. If you think you might be offended by reading a book the hammers everything and everybody, then don't buy it. It's as simple as that. But, for the rest of the free thinkers, read on with pride. This book will have you laughing on the very first page. By the time you reach page 50, your sides will hurt. This book covers a lot of ground, and makes the end of the world sound like the best thrill ride ever. If you like flying midgets, a very dimented Lucifer (more so than you would normally think), making fun of Religion, Angelic fight clubs, Jesus as a politician, God as a terrible & vengeful father figure, and protagonists that turn out to destroy the world via a self help movement, then this book is for you. It's just good fun.

There is a fine line between farce and simply being absurd, between making a point and clobbering the reader over the head with it. Matthew Moses walks that fine line daringly in Anti-Christ: A Satirical End of Days. There are many in its intended audience who will view it all as a reflection of the renowned mantra from Network, 'I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this any more!' Moses is mad about two things in particular: religion, especially the Roman Catholic Church, and the current state of politics and government. Hysterical in its portrayals of both institutions, there is enough of a kernel of truth to cause both cringe worthy moments within these pages. The book rises above the level of a very first novel, highly entertaining...for those who have tolerance of the material. More important, it will strike a responsive chord with those tired of the increasing dominance of religion in society and its growing role in politics, as well as those who see a political system attuned toward the self-interest of politicians and the powerful rather than helping the average citizen. This is satire and farce that not only portrays the corruption and misuse of societal institutions, but also excoriates those institutions for what they have done to the principles upon which they claim to be based.

This book is pure venom. Against modern culture. Against modern politics. Against the hypocrisy of religion. This book really does spell out the frustration people in America have with their country today. It deals in corruption of ideals, imperfect leaders making idiotic decisions, and proves how precarious a position the world is in today. It's also a fun book poking the establishment in the ribs. Irreverent, but it deserves to be. Give it a look.

The author is clearly angry at society. He rips on the Church, politics, self-help groups, corporations, and even God! Judging by how screwed up the planet is can you blame him? This is a fun read following a guy's journey through Heaven and back.
But come on, Mexicans sneaking into Heaven! That alone makes this story funny beyond belief. It's like South Park on steroids. If you are extremely Christian, sorry. But for everyone else this book puts a funny spin on everything from fat people to politics. Only this book could claim the Catholic Church to be the equivalent of a terrorist organization!
