Portals

by Bill Haugland

Newspaper reporter Colin Dalhousie tracks scores of human disappearances across Vermont and Quebec dating back to the mid-1800s. What he discovers reveals a chilling pattern of events. This is an apocalyptic tale portrays an epic battle between good and evil that asks: Is there such a thing as a multiverse, where doorways into alternate realities truly exist? Are prophecies from "The Book of Revelation" reflected in cataclysmic 21st-century events like climate change, extreme weather, and political landscapes shifting sharply to the right? Is humanity experiencing the End of Days? Is it too late to reverse course?

This was a nice little dose of wtf I guess. I think it would be better for someone who has the time on their hands to read it in the span of two or three days, rather than someone like me who basically only has time to read on 15 minute breaks at work. I found the first half of the book jumped between characters way too quickly, and I couldn't really keep track of who each of them were, so I didn't really care about them at all. The characters spent too much time alone, which resulted in a lot of telling rather than showing. Even in the second half of the book when we were jumping less there didn't seem to be much in the way of character development, so I still didn't care about them. I found the ending unsatisfying. It doesn't make sense to me that another cycle would start immediately after the last one ended.

It took a bit to get into the story. There are so many characters introduced in the first part of the book that it was difficult to keep them all straight. The story picked up after that and was enjoyable. It was an iintriguing concept.
