Glenn’s comments from the Around the World in Books group.

I just started this classic since I so, so enjoy the author's writing and the subject of this novel. Please let me know if anybody is still interested in exchanges about The War of the End of the World.

BTW - the whole dynamic of following a fanatical religious leader continues. Here's one instance:

July 2023 - NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — The death toll in connection with Kenya’s doomsday cult has crossed the 400 mark as detectives exhumed 12 more bodies. The mass graves exhumed Monday are believed to a burial site for followers of a pastor who ordered them to fast to death in order to meet Jesus. Pastor Paul Mackenzie is in police custody. Police also have detained 36 other suspects and all are yet to be charged. Coast Regional Commissioner Rhoda Onyancha on Monday said the total number of those who died is now at 403 while those rescued stand at 95. Some 613 people have so far been reported as missing to Kenya Red Cross officers stationed in Malindi.
