It Only Temporary A Tale of the End of the World eBook Eric Shapiro
Hours before the world ends, Sean decides to take the three hour drive to his former girlfriend's house so he can die in her arms. He says goodbye to his parents, takes his dad's gun, and drives off towards his girl's house. He makes some stops that aren't necessary, such as to his favorite diner, where the proprietor shoots at him for walking out with a glass. People act in unbelievable manners at times in this book, and the narrator's description of his mother was a bit offputting.Then he encounters some villians straight out of Mad Max who are throwing women out of a camper van. He picks up one of the women and they go after the two crazy men. After that situation is dealt with, they go to a house in search of a car (his Explorer ran out of gas) and end up helping a couple deliver a baby. These are a few of the things he stalls around with as he makes his way to his ex.
Along the journey he does plenty of drugs, thinks back to his time dating the girl, and gets in a car wreck. After the wreck, there is a brief "anti-psychotic episode" and the story gets back on track only to get bogged down in a rediculous subplot about wild lions.
Will he make it to the girl's house? You will have to read it to find out. It is a very short book and the print is pretty big, so it won't take long to finish and it is quite entertaining. Except for the part about the lions, which made you wonder if the whole thing was a dream. Shapiro is an author I would check out again.

It Only Temporary A Tale of the End of the World eBook Eric Shapiro Reviews
Eric Shapiro has crafted one of the most compelling apocalyptic tales I've ever read. It reads like equal parts horror novel, black comedy and--yeah--spiritual memoir. Brass tacks no genre can contain this transcendent work of fiction. It simply must be experienced. Highly recommended for fans of Palahniuk and Hunter S. Thompson. My only gripe was that it ended too soon, but while the reading experience may only be temporary, the story will stick with me forever.
I started this story about Two hours ago, and I just got finished. I read it in one sitting. I could not tear myself away from it. It grabbed me by the throat on the first page, and I am still trying to catch my breath.
The story takes place on Humanity's last day. A Meteor is heading straight for Earth, and nothing can be done to stop it. The story follows a young man named Sean, and his struggles. His physical struggle to reach is ex girlfriend before the Meteor hits, and his mental struggle to find God, and the meaning of Life. You witness the worlds last few hours through his eyes.
This story made me laugh, almost cry, and laugh some more. It was a true pleasure to read. I have to say that this is one of the best Apocalyptic stories I have ever read. I hated to see this book end. Eric is one heck of a Storyteller. He knows how to write a story that will stay with you long after you finish it.
I recommend Its Only Temporary to anyone that wants to read a adrenaline packed story that is at the same time very deep and beautiful.
It will stay with me for a very long time.
The main character is around 23 year old when told the world ending is near as a meteor will hit it. Instead of dying with his young siblings and parents, he leaves them (breaking his parents' hearts) to be with an old girlfriend he broke up with because she was unfaithful. His plan is to be in bed with her when the meteor hits. Along the way to her house, he sees society falling apart. This young man stops to see all the sights instead of being with his family and barely makes it even to see this woman and her family before the world ends. The book ends with everyone still waiting to for the meteor to hit.
This book is a quick read.
I buy A LOT of Permuted Press books, and I have to say that this little guy was the worst. Reminded me of a short story a high school kid would come up with. Very disappointed, as reviews were pretty good on it. If you're an adult, don't be fooled by the good reviews this thing got. It's clearly been reviewed by 12 year-olds.
Sean--and the rest of the world--has only ten hours to live. Waking up from a self-induced fog of drugs and depression, he decides that he wants to spend his final moments with Selma, the only woman he has ever truly loved.
His journey to find her through the madness of the end of the world is both gripping and heart-warming. This isn't quite like anything else I've ever read--highly recommended.
Yep, I did it- I ruined the rating of this short story- yes, it's a short story- it's only a hundred pages.
I really, really wanted to like this book- especially after paying full book price for a short story, and after all the glowing reviews.
However, I felt as though there were am series of well-written and sometimes quite shocking scenes kinda home sewn together with the wrong colored string. Like the was no actual plot, just the weak idea of a young man deciding to spend his last moments with his lost love. Beyond that there's no rhyme or reason to any of the happenings in this story.
I wouldn't want to discourage anyone from reading this, as obviously many other's have enjoyed it, but I felt it only fair that I share my opinion and review as well, even if it isn't as glowing at its predecesors.
