Summary: I can't believe people think this book is good!
Review: I think people have gotten confused a little with the concept of "good message" versus "good novel". Yes, the message is good, however, the book itself is horrible. Sophomoric writing, implausible characters, completely unrealistic story-line (if you can even call it a story-line) and absolute tedium. Do the authors not believe that the reader is intelligent enough to understand something without being explicitly told (and repeated, over & over again)? The authors should've wrapped this series up a very long time ago...

Summary: Ben Judah, heart warming character.
Review: This book really shows the heart of God in those who are left behind and living for Him during the great tribulation. Wonderful reading.

Summary: The worst written of the series
Review: This book starts off with a long scene about Rayford's uniform and the cost of its accoutrements which is among the worst pieces of writing I have ever encountered in fiction. And it went on for PAGES. From there it picks up a bit but keeps falling back into the kind of writing that would not make it through an undergraduate workshop. Some reviewers have complained that the books are becoming too character-driven. I don't mind that, except that the characters themselves are so shallow. The first rule of good writing -- show don't tell -- is violated on almost every page of this tedious book. I enjoyed Left Behind and have read the others as they were published out of curiosity. No big deal, it only takes a few hours to read each. But the writing, which was never really good, has become the worst sort of hack work.

Summary: absolutly fantastic!
Review: I read this book and all the rest of them in 5 days. I couldn't put them down. I don't think I have ever read anything so close to what I beleave will happen. The author kept my interest, with no lagging or boring parts. There was no wandering off the plot with something that had no meaning to the story. I am waiting (not very patiently either) for the next ones. Good job!!

Summary: It just keeps getting better
Review: I started with Left behind not sure what to expect. I am not religious, so i read them for the entertainment value. What an eye opener. The story is great. fast paced, lots of action and suspense. Great insight into the new testatment, especially for the layman, without being overwhelming. This book seems to be somewhat more humorous than the last 3.

Summary: Quality story, average writing
Review: I must say, this series has captivated me. Not because of the writing, but because of the content of the story. The end times are fascinating and this book brings them to life. That's why I enjoy them so much. People need to stop criticizing the authors for their writing style and enjoy the story. Sure, I am also annoyed by many things in the book, but I am able to look past the trivialites and enjoy the big picture. I am starting Apollyon today.

Summary: Writers: Please return to your previous focus on Scriptures
Review: The element that has made these books successful is the way apocalyptic scripture is woven into modern life -- it's definitely not the goings-on of the characters. I could not believe the authors devoted almost 420 pages of character "development" and then gave the first three Trumpet Judgements a mere 4-5 pages at the end of the book. (I think the Wormwood comet that poisons a third of all water was covered in 3 paragraphs.) Come on guys, how the judgements impact the survivors after the Rapture is your story -- not how Rayford thinks he can find evidence of his wife's end on a plane at the bottom of a river (is it that even remotely pausible?).

Summary: Soul Harvest is all I hoped it would be and more.
Review: The first book in this series "Left Behind" was so exciting to me that half way through the read, I ordered the other three available books in the series. I must tell you that my sister and I have not read books together since we were children and, in fact, I have not seen my sister read a book in nine years. However, I convinced her to just take a look at "Left Behind" Saturday morning. She finished the read and picked up (#2) "Tribulation Force" as I set it down to start on (#3) Nicolae. Sunday, I read (#4)"Soul Harvest" then handed it to her. We didn't discuss any of the books until finishing "Soul Harvest" and agreed it was wonderful. Being Christians, we can appreciate the faith of the main characters and I'm pleased the writers led me through a Bible study course in this exciting novel. "Soul Harvest" answered so many questions for me about the end days. It was exciting and frightening, yet offered moments that made me smile. Most important to me, "Soul Harvest" is a story of hope. I look forward to the next one. Then I intend to read the entire series again with my highlighter in one hand and my Bible in the other. So much to learn and so little time. God bless Mr. Lahaye and Mr. Jenkins.

Summary: I wish I could do it, but . . .
Review: I really wish I could look past the poor writing, shallow characters, and weak story line to see the valuable message hidden within these books, but I just can't. There are too many other, better, Christian novels out there for me to waste time fighting through such poor pieces of work. This wasn't the worst book I've ever read, but it's close. I'd give it 1 1/2 stars if I could.
