What do you get when you mix a couple of immortals, a snotty archangel, the Father of Lies, a redneck street preacher and a couple of wiseass waitresses from Texas?

You get a cross-country road trip to save the world, of course!

Adam (yeah that Adam) has been around for a long time, but even he's never seen anything like this. He has to gather his ex-girlfriend and his youngest daughter with his ex-wife (you remember Eve, right?) and his oldest surviving son (Cain) and get them across the country for a meeting with Archangel Michael and Lucifer to determine the fate of the world.

Along the way there are strip clubs, cheap beer, expensive whiskey, biker bar fights, shotgun blasts in motel parking lots, sing-alongs in public parks and other wild adventures as our group of intrepid immortals and universal icons travel to save the world.

The Chosen is the first novel from best-selling fantasy novelist John G. Hartness. A wild comic ride through biblical genre-bending, The Chosen is as funny as it is probing. With characters pulled from the pages of the Bible and from everyday life, The Chosen takes a hard look at what happens when the divine becomes the everyday.

Not often do you find a book that helps you look in the mirror and see yourself. I am now 72 and know I am not immortal nor promised tomorrow. It is ok and I understand why a lot better.

Didn't like as much as other stories by the author...story felt forced...narration was good...was so...so.

Well first John G Hartness is a fantastical storyteller and character builder, I adore what he brought to life and actually slowed down my listening because I didn't want it to end. The characters were relatable and filled with enough flaws that you rooted for them every step of the way.
John has taken a biblical tale and put a unique (to me) spin on it.
He left me wanting more.

This is yet another good story were the ending just pulls everything apart. sigh...

Overall this is a good book.

Their are alot of great moment both heartwarming and gut busting.

The Characters are well rounded and smoothly developed.

The pacing is smooth never felling to fast nor to slow.

The narration is by far the best part about this audiobook with Andrew McFerrin bringing the story and characters to life.

The ending is however were everything goes from pretty good to that "but if that is so than why did such and such happen" realm.

I can't say I would recommend this audiobook but at the same time I can't say just skip it.

If you can take to whole "good-story bad-ending" I would say give this a try.

Good Story Bad Ending

Ok, I already love this author's writing style, so, new book? One-click! If ever there was an author who could make me laugh so hard I scared my dog, Hartness is it. Seriously, I was sitting on the deck, listening to this redneck mashup of Dogma (as an aside, the narrators voice was a spot-on Azrael when he spoke for Lucifer!), and I snorted so loudly, my little minpin actually BARKED at me!

Loved it!

The for most of the book I thought the story was ok. It was interesting to see the world from Adam's point of view (again sort of) so for 95% of the book I was going along thinking this book is ok I'll keep going just to see how it ends but the ending was so so so bad all I could think was that's 5 hours of my life I'm never going to get back! People spoiler alert he picks the dark side. The author try's to say no he's picking free will but no he is picking suffering war and death over life and love! If you do make the mistake of getting this book and you hear the end note that lucifer talks about his side being the bad stuff but also art and make up sex and music..... The author is trying to say all the cool stuff but nowhere in his list the devil talk about real love and real fulfillment

I never do this I never write reviews but I was so angry about the ending I had to

It was ok right up tell the end
