Rating:  Summary: I can't wait to get the next book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: I have just finished this book. It only took me one day to finish it. I was so grabbed by the story. I have read all the others but this is the one I read the fastest. They are so real and compelling. It makes you stop and think about whether or not you would be left beind. And if you were left behind it makes you change you mind QUICKLY!!!!. I can't wait to get the next books.
Rating:  Summary: So many emotions and decisions to be made Review: To realize what the book of Revelation is telling you about the 7 seals and 7 trumpets I found myself hoping and praying with the characters as they look for their loved ones and felt their emotions throughout the book. Again, this book brings the writings of John the Revelator to life and easier to understand his writings. Another in this series that makes you glad you will not have to go through this period of time if you are truly saved and living as Christ-like as possible.
Rating:  Summary: Poor characterization leads us to imagine better deaths. Review: Something the authors hadn't banked on was the lack of sincerity shown by readers in their ongoing relationships with the characters of this series. The more of these books written, the more effacious plot details are sprinkled in the text, never mind the continually annoying margins and triple spacing. It seems incongruous that such a wide audience has been following this series, though of course it is better that they read this pabulum than other drivel a la Celestine Prophecy. Though this is better, by degrees only, it still conveys a gnostic worldview and a rare evidence of intertextual self-referentiality.
Rating:  Summary: An update Review: This book has passed the one million mark in sales and sold more than 100,000 in August 1999 alone, just over a year since its release. All six books in the series are over a million in sales with six more titles to come. We are overwhelmed, but more important are the many stories of affected lives. Thanks to fans and critics alike for caring, and for the word-of-mouth that keeps this going.
Rating:  Summary: Series is picking up speed Review: After what I thoought was a slightly slower book, Nicolae, the 4th installment, Soul Harvest is much more action packed and diverse. It probably deserves 4 stars, however I am still having trouble with some of the campy dialouge. Being a Christian myself, I am totally aware of the 'Christian' way of writing books without using secular or graphic dialouge, however, to make the characters more believable, they must drop the "Gee Whiz" & "Golly" type statements. The worst abuser is Chloe (though 22), she talks like Robin from the 60's Batman series. Even the best Christians I know still talk somewhat like it is 1999.As far as the story goes, we finally see more action when it comes to Buck, and the introduction of many new characters to help flesh out this novel universe. The additions of Mac and Ritz, and Dr. Charles are welcome. Some astounding developments happen with Nicolae's 1st hand man, and it is somewhat comic the interaction between him and the Pontifex Maximus Peter Mathews. The world is only big enough for one of thier ego's. It seems that by the 5th installment, we will finally see some more fast paced action that takes this religious novel to the standards of a good spy story.
Rating:  Summary: A totally riviting read. I hated to put it down. Review: Soul Harvest was the most interesting and facinating books in the Left Behind series. I was completely locked in to the characters and what was happening to them. The suspense held me to the book until the wee hours. When I finished it, I had to really reflect on my own salvation.
Rating:  Summary: HOPE YOU HAVE TIME ON YOUR HANDS, LIKE HOURS AT A TIME. Review: The reason why I wrote what I did to summarize it is that like all the others, once you start, you can't stop. Literally. Absolutely amazing. It will keep you guessing all the way to the very end of the book.
Rating:  Summary: Most griping and very insightful. Review: To those of you writing complaining about having things completely spelled out, well for your information not everyone went to Harvard. There are several out there who need it spelled out. God has given us a great start to understanding his Bible and prophecy. Thumbs up to the two authors for keeping me traveling between my Bibles (KJV and NIV) and their novels. I applaude them for making it so clear that my teenagers have become avid readers of the series and their Bibles. My children tell me the are reading the book of Revelation and trying to figure out what will happen in the next book before they begin it. Priase God for Authors such as Mr. Jenkins and LeHaye. Our family is eagerly awaiting the next book. Thanks for a great insight.
Rating:  Summary: I really enjoyed reading this series! Review: I really liked this series a lot. It kept me on my toes. I never read books but when I first started reading "Left Behind" I just couldn't put it down. It was very well written. I realize that this book is fiction but it really makes you think of how you are with Christ in your personal life. All I have to say is that you made a reader out of me.
Rating:  Summary: One of the best so far. Review: I really enjoyed this book. This is one of those books that you read and really enjoy (and read fast). The plot was great and the continuation of the persecution is wonderful. I love the characters. I think that this is one of the best because of all of its ideas.
