Misty Smith Hi guys! I reas a book in early to mid 2000s and I loved it. Reread it a few times.

Probably because there aren't any yet? Give it time.

Misty Smith obvs I commented that because when viewing thread it said there was a comment. when click on it no comment showed. even now it says there are 3 comments but I can only see two. excluding the comment I am posting obviously.

Please note you can bump your thread (post a comment in it) every 30+ days, because this group is so large. If you remember new details, you can add them at any time.

What does "ISO" mean?
Is this book for adults or teens?

I removed the ALL CAPS from the header/topic title. It looks like shouting.


message 6: by Misty (new)

Misty Smith this is my first time. just trying to learn as I go! ISO means "in search of".
new detail I think I read it between 2007 and 2012.
a book for adults.
there was a religious aspect to the book as well.
pre apocalypse people tried praying the meteor away.
throughout time "pings" would record information.
in the future time approx 12 people become dieties.
they develop talents or powers that relate to a religious/fairytale book that cells about the deities they are becoming.

I feel like I suck at explaining this. I'm really trying to.

the end of the book def had a giant drum made from the skin of something evil and a maze. hope this is better! please let me know.

Misty, you're doing fine. Thanks for the explanation.

Do you think this book is for adults or teens?

Can you tell us more about "...throughout time "pings" would record information" and how that worked? What info was recorded and where was it stored?

Did the story jump back and forth between pre-apocalypse and post-apocalypse?

I added some details to the header/topic title. You can update it by clicking the small "edit" link after the header. This only works on the full Desktop website - not the Mobile website or app. (On the Mobile website, click the "Desktop version" link at the bottom of the page.)

Misty Smith the ping memory is very vague. j think that small drone like things would record information that would hit on certain subjects or people. anything relevant to evolving the people into the godlike creatures.

at the end of the book the glowy angel talks about how they wiped out the dinosaurs because they were stagnant as a species. Basically humans got a do over after messing things up.
I think it was for adults. I read it in my late teens.
it's like an itch I can't scratch and want to read it again! yes the story jumped back and forth in time.

Your first post counts as a "comment" so that was the one, and the third.

Please don't be rude to someone trying to help you. You had asked why you couldn't see comments, and SamSpayedPI was trying to give you an explanation.


message 12: by Misty (new)

Misty Smith before I commented any comments it said there was a comment. she is th one being rude persisting on commenting with nothing to help. I made the post. it said there was a comment. I commented why can't I see any comments then it went up to 2 comments. then she commented. that made three. do I need to go on? just trying to find a book. only person who has been helpful on this thread is Kris.so again if yuu don't have anything to help find the book please move along. thanks .

Misty, please note that I gave you the benefit of the doubt when I posted, because it sounded like you were new to this type of forum and understandably eager to get feedback (as is everyone else in the group).

This is a *huge* group on Goodreads, one of the largest groups in fact. The request board moves very fast with new threads constantly being posted. So you need to be patient and wait for comments (what SamSpayedPI was saying). You can trust the counter "# comments" beside your request to be accurate. In many cases, it will be "1 comment" (which refers to your original post) for a while.

Regardless, please do not tell people to "move along". That comment is not helpful.
