Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I returned this book, even though it was free, I don't want it on my Kindle. And I have to wonder what the heck book the star reviewers read. It sure as heck was not the book I read!! I read the first 100 or so pages of this and had to give up. I really wanted to like this book. I really did. BUT having the USA end on the Mayan calendar end date was the first clue this book was going to go off track. then references to a cabal of 2000 year old Conspiracy whose members are going to bring down civilization for no apparent reason. Come on, give me a break!! Then we have the US military obeying illegal orders to murder our citizens (ain't gonna happen). No member of the US Marine Corps or the Army is going to issue or follow those illegal orders. They are in violation of so many concepts that beat into them from boot camp on. Things like Duty Honor country. And then there are unarmed civilians overrunning highly trained and armed military organizations and killing every armed Marine in a base but one and a kid? BTW What are Marines doing in the middle of New Mexico anyway? Then we get witches with magic powers? Next armed bandits that are disorganized and over-running the armed civilians that just took out the US Marines and supposed have the arms they took from the Marines? And to top it off, in less than a month all the men in sight have turned into sadistic murdering rapists and worse. As a man (and former Marine) I find that to be very offensive. We won't even get into Marine rank structure. Ok I will. A Lance Corporal is the 3rd lowest rank in the Corps. Every enlisted person goes through that rank within 2 years or so of enlisting. No lifer would have that rank for long, yet we have a guy that has been in the Corps for 10 years or more with the rank of E-3. Give me a break. This could have been a good book and a good series, but failed horribly.
