Summary: Down with Carpathia!
Review: Fun,Riviting,Gripping,Annoying,Disappointing. The book was good, but lacked the thick plots of the first 3 books. A great deal of information could have been added to explain Biblical events and meanings. I felt this book was drawn out; a fill in; to keep you hanging on to the edge of your seat for the next edition. Once your hooked to the central characters you have to follow them. They're addictive!!! Cannot wait for "The Assassins".

Summary: Not as great as the first three, but I couldn't put it down!
Review: Soul Harvest was a good addition to the series, but the authors prolonged too many things. They took to long with the searches, and made a big deal about the brief case (Which I felt wasn't that big of a deal). I would recommend this book to anyone who has read the first three, and I am looking forward to the next book.

Summary: Excellent writing and character developement.
Review: I'm 13 years old and hadn't heard about the Left Behind: The Kids series, so I read these. I don't know how some of these people could write such terrible reviews of it! I'll admit that at the end it seemed like they wanted to get the first 3 or so Trumpet Judgements out of the way, like they were under a page limit or something, but I wouldn't rate it badly. I really liked the way the authors built up the characters in these books! I feel like they're my best friends now! The last hurried events really didn't seem the point of the book, so I didn't mind. I think that these books are some of my new favorites, and I think that Soul Harvest was a wonderful addition!

Summary: The most explosive book of the series!!!
Review: I couldn't put Soul Harvest down. Once again, this series provides a greater understanding of the Gospel and what is to come to both believers and non-believers. I pray this book will have as much impact on future readers as it did to me. The Left Behind Series, and specifically Soul Harvest, is unique in that the books are extremely entertaining and teach the Gospel at the same time. I would recommend Soul Harvest to anyone, especially non-believers!!!

Summary: Another rock-em sock-em book in the Left behind series
Review: Wow... I just finished it this morning. I, like so many others, can't stand the next twelve months of waiting for the next book. I feel that the characters are well developed, especially if you've watched their growth throughout the four books. I felt as if I already knew them, and just shared their burdens and dreams. I speak very highly of this series, and I think this book just made me even more anxious to read the rest.

Summary: Just die already.
Review: It's annoying how long this series is dragging out. Over and over I wonder, "When is Carpathia just going to shoot them?" It's like the villains in James Bond movies who could just shoot Bond, but end up talking on and on about their plans, allowing Bond the opportunity to escape. Well, this series is just rambling on and on, and if there was any semblance of realism in it, one third of the protagonists would be dead by now.

Summary: The best written of this series
Review: The continuation of a great story line envolving post rapture, pretrib-autrib end time saints. This the fouth in the series was more enjoyable reading as there was more of a variety of enteraction between the characters. The characters had more depth and human responses to their circumstances as well as to each other. More humoruos exchanges as well as their pain and dealing with the uncertainties makes me really look forward to the next episode in 1999. I know there are seven books planned for the series but with the year 2000 coming quickly will there be time for no, 6 & 7?

Summary: Good, But a diappointment
Review: I found this book to be a very quick read. Not because it was so gripping but because I could skip 100 pages and not miss anything. While I found the first two books to be extremely good, the latest installments have been rather a let down. I was greatly disappointed to have read so much on the search for loved ones only to find at least three major world events crammed into the last chapters. surely these events if better covered would have inproved the reading of this book. Over all I must say Soul Harvest was a disappointment,and I hope the next will be better. If not the authors will lose a reader.

Summary: A Lot Of Suspense, Not A Whole Lot Of Detail
Review: After reading the first three, especially Nicolae, I was more than excited to see that Soul Harvest came out earlier than the expected August release. However, unlike my most favorite in the series this one left me a little empty. I felt that first Nicolae and the two witnesses didn't really do much and the search for Amanda was a bit pushed aside and drawn out. The search for Chloe was on the other hand riveting. The most disappointing aspect was that it was primarily lacking in spiritual content in many places. For instance, those who are new to end time events may sit there wondering what LaHaye/Jenkins are talking about since there are few Biblical references to the events. The other thing that left me disappointed, as well as others as evidenced by the other reviews, are as the following. 20% of the book is a review of other events that happened in the first three (If you didn't read those the authors should have forced the reader to go to those first by leaving this out, but refreshing using the forward). 60% of the book is general filler that can confuse the reader that he or she is baited into shelling out more money and getting very little in return. And 20% on the theme that most of us anticipated. One of my suggestions for the authors is to explain more. For instance, what is wormwood. A better explaination for this phenomenon would have been that the tidal waves that occured due to the asteroid caused the sewage and waste to back up into the water supply thus causing the water to become bitter, wormwood. This is an idea brought about in a similar and very well written book by Pat Robertson---The End Of The Age. I like many other readers look forward to the next book, Assassins, coming soon (although I wish it were sooner). But as a plea to the authors, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE concentrate on the plot and be more detailed on the Biblical explaination of these events. Overall a good book. Keep up the good work guys!!!

Summary: Good pick-up from Nicolae.
Review: I have only 2 chapters to go, but now that I have read other customer reviews, I know the ending. Shucks!I was disappointed to read that the authors are continuing to rehash events (apparently for the benefit of those who have not read the full series) and I find it annoying! Fortunately it's not as evident in this book as in the last two so the authors may be listening after all. The search for Chloe and Amanda is dragged out way too long and unnecessarily so. Although the final pages are quick moving and heart-pounding, the middle is TOO slow. Food for thought to the authors. I'm looking forward to the next book, but don't see the necessity in writing an additional three to complete the series. Tribulation Force and Nicolae could have been combined and Soul Harvest and ??? could have been combined as well. The authors are certainly laughing all the way to the bank and the we (the readers) are financing their trip!
