Rating:  Summary: Awesome; LB is my favorite series Review: I love the Left Behind Series, it got me excited about reading again. Anyone who loves reading interesting plots and developing and changing characters should read it. While #4 isn't as great as the other ones (like no. 8 and 9!) It was a great read, I read it through, barely being able to put it down. (Just like all the other Left Behind Books) Good Job, JBJ!
Rating:  Summary: The Best Book I have read this year! Review: This book is the best one I have read this year. It is very exciting and suspensful. There are many obstacles that the Tribulation Force must overcome and it had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I just simply couldn't put the book down.
Rating:  Summary: Terrible, slow, and WAY too preachy. Review: I've long been enamored with apocalyptic literature; something about a world slowly dying simply captivates my interest. So I was excited to hear of the Left Behind series.The problem, however, is that the series gradually turns into more of an evangelizing text than a quality novel. Long, boring religious asides take up pages at a time while major apocalyptic events are expressed in merely a few paragraphs. Three trumpet judgements seemed to breeze through in mere pages. While I enjoyed the first three books of the series, Soul Harvest seems to be sending it down a slippery slope, degenerating into a long religious tract. At the moment, I am reading Apollyon (book #5), and find it just as slow paced. However, I continue to read in hopes that it will pick up.
Rating:  Summary: If you liked the previous ones, you'll like this one. Review: While I do have to agree (...) that the books do seem to be too wordy, it's still a good read. The previous three books seem to have little story in between the first chapter and the end, with most of the important stuff occuring in the epilogue. Soul Harvest has more story throughout the book. There is a lot more action in this book as some of the trumpet judgements begin occuring. I continue to recommend this series to people even though they aren't great works of literature. The series is a good read and has an important message. I plan to continue reading the series as I have enjoyed it so far.
Rating:  Summary: A wasted effort Review: If you're reading the series, read the first few pages and the last few pages of this book and skip the rest. Move on to book 5. You won't miss a thing. It seems the authors are trying to stretch this series for far more than it's worth. None of the books are terribly well written but this was the worst by far. The story line crawls along though there is almost no character development through this installment. This book should have been a chapter in the preceeding or subsequent books in the series. Usually a paragraph was enough to get me to sleep each night.
Rating:  Summary: INCREDIBLE Review: This book is amazing... The personalities of the characters are so developed and deep that it almost feels as if they are friends...Tim LeHay and Jerry Jenkins just continue to top their previous novels... I would recommend this series (and I have) to anyone!
Rating:  Summary: What a wonderful time to be a Christian lover of literature! Review: For so many years, a Christian's only real option to read quality Christian literature was to read the marevelous C.S. Lewis. I feel blessed in the the last couple of years with the outpouring of quality literature now available. What's more, the different books are all very different. Left Behind is a wonderful introduction to the theology behind the End Times and a great series for all ages. We All fall down is a great book for more mature, intellegent Christians who wsnt to explore the individual ramifications of the End Times and the one on one relationship of a man who has fallen away from God. The Christ Clone Trilogy is a thrilling, Tom Clancey like look at these events, full of unexpected twists and turns. I know some people like to argue the various merits of these books as compared to each other, but I think they are all worth reading and feel lucky to finally have such a wide variety of GREAT Christian literature available.
Rating:  Summary: Great as the First Three Review: I am not a fan of fiction. I hate to read. I AM HOOKED ON THIS SERIES: easy to read and impossible to lay down. The worst part of this book is reading the last page and not having the next book to pick up immediately. Each book in the series has been as good as or better than the previous book(s). Ride on Tribulation Saints!!!
Rating:  Summary: My Favorite Review: This is my favorite book in the series thus far. The plot moves faster in my opinion and the characters are developed more. There is also a good combination of suspense of light comedy which makes it easier for those of us who read at night. Another plus is that it begins to show the true agony of those who will be left behind. This is one book definitely worth reading, but could go more in depth.
Rating:  Summary: A very interesting book. Review: This book is mostly about the earthquake... ...Buck and Chloe find out something very interesting. Buck starts to say goodbye to The GC's Magazine... ...Foundation is laid for the next book.
