Summary: Sensationalism
Review: Actually, I give this book, and the series, no stars. The best that can be said is that if you enjoy science fiction, you could read it in the same sense that you would read Buck Rodgers.If you are looking for a Biblical view of Christian eschatology, this series is helpful in that it informs you of everything that the Bible doesn't say on the topic. If you are looking for something sensational to read without it being accurate, then here is your "Christian" Buck Rodgers.

Summary: The best of the Left Behind books after #1
Review: This is probably the most exciting of all the Left Behind books after the 1st in the series. The action is nonstop and keeps you reading. There was always something going on in the story that makes it hard to put down.

Summary: Part 4, shopworn and formulaic.
Review: My big quibble with Soul Harvest was just how closely it followed the event outline of Nicolae. Buck saves Chloe from harm, then runs off to save someone else. Meanwhile Rayford continues to spy on Nicolae and seek out the newly saved. The intrigue heats up and the nastier bits of the tribulation are yet to come, but did Jenkins have to gloss over plagues in mere paragraphs? And just how long is he going to drag these events out? Questions I would not be asking if he spent more time developing three dimensional and complex characters to inhabit this hellish world. I wasn't exactly bored with the novel, but I was far from impressed. I'll get around to reading part 5 someday, but I'm rapidly loosing interest in this seemingly endless series since it obviously has nothing for its characters to do.

Summary: It Keeps Getting Better - Thank Goodness
Review: Of the first four books of the Left Behind series, Soul Harvest has to be the most action packed one. Now that Rayford and Buck have survived a global earthquake, the wrath of the Lamb, they now struggle to find their spouses. Rayford searches for Amanda, but doesn't know if she got on the plane that she was supposed to. Buck looks for Chloe which takes him on a six hour drive with a few high speed chases in between. As their journey progresses, they find that they have the symbol of unity, a cross on their foreheads that can only be seen by the followers. As flaming hail falls from the sky, this book continues to leave you wanting more. I cannot give this book five stars because of the level of writing. Every other review will tell you that these books are writtin on an 8th grade level, and I'll say so once again. These novels can't be compared to Crichton or Clancy at all. But this could also be a good thing. These aren't books that make you think real hard, you don't need a dictionary to read them, and they're an easy read which them really enjoyable.

Summary: A great book
Review: After having read all 8 of the left behind series books over the last 3 weeks I can only say with a short word, WOW! I have read some people reviews criticizing the books for being to bland and written for a young audience. Most of what is written in these books comes from a book that is often referred to as bland and not very exciting, this book is affectionately known as the Bible. Do I have problems with these books I would have to say yes, consider if you would the cost of jet aircraft and jet fuel for said aircraft would be astronomical. Planes somehow being able to fly great distances (Israel to Illinois is over 5000 nm) without refueling stops add to the disillusion of the story. But this is why this work is referred to as fiction and not non-fiction, if it were based on more factual data the story would have more realism yes but it would be no less entertaining. There are portions of the books that do seem to drag along but for the most part books keep a good pacing and a wanting from the reader. I read from other readers that there is no cussing and other sins committed by these new believers, for this I can only state that sometimes people can radically change with God in their lives and perhaps that is something that these writers are attempting to convey with their writings. One thing that does bother me is the fact that the writers have now decided that 1 book a year will be all the put out for the series, is there a guarantee that there will only be another 4 books in this series? After all the first 42 months of the tribulation consumed 7 books and anyone who has read revelations will tell you that the next 42 months of what will be known as the Great Tribulation will be twice as intense as could every be imagined in the first 42 months. So is it possible that without an increase in the size and material explored in these next books that the series could become 15 or more books? If that is the case the rapture may occur before this series is every completed. I personally think some people are taking these books to replace the bible, instead of what these books are intended to be. And for those who still consider these books so poorly written let me point to you two of the most poorly penned books I have ever had the misfortune of reading. The author of these two books is Dr. Robert Davis, they are titled; The Plutonium Murders and the Doomsday Kiss. Do I think the likes of Stephen King, Tom Clancy, John Grisham or others I will not list here have something to be frightened of by these authors the answer I am ashamed to say would be no. The vast majority of people in the world will never know these books as great writing or entertainment. I give the books a 5 star rating although in actuality I would say for character and plot development it would receive a 1 Star, for writing quality a 2 Star, for a reasonable plot and research a 2 Star (this being generous) but for overall being something I would recommend to others for the pure entertainment of everything I give the books my full recommendations.

Summary: It's not Horrible
Review: Now, you've heard from every other reviewer, that these books aren't very well written. Well, they're right. But you've heard enough from them about that, so I won't bore you with how bad the writing was. I really don't think these books are too bad. I only have one problem, well actually 2 problems: 1: I don't think these books need to be dragged out past 8 books. If the writers were good, then I'd say the heck with it, go ahead. But the fact is they aren't good writers. Look at the Harry Potter series. There will be seven of those, but the author is a great author. Also, there was a mistake in interpretations in this book. It was the first I've come across, but it's a big part in the story. If you're familiar with the story, you know that all believers get a mark on their forehead so they will be recognized as Christians. Well, in Revelation, chapter 7, It says that only the 144,000 witnesses will get that seal on their heads. Out of all the things that happen in Revelation, that has to be the most understandable. I don't see how the authors could have missed something like that. Anyway, these are just my opinions. Also, if you have questions about the "End Times," don't worry about it just yet. Every Christian should be more concerned about how to live their lives right now, than worrying about what is going to happen in the end times.

Summary: sorely disappointing . . .
Review: The only readers who will come away satisfied with this series (I quit halfway through "Soul Harvest") are fundamentalist who can't get enough of the same ol' fire and brimstone. These books are the shallowest of shallow, with about as much intellectual stimulation as a bowl of cold oatmeal. There are vastly more exciting and fearsome novels on the subject of The Last Day--not the least of which is the novel by the same name--"The Last Day." If you have the mental wherewithal for a really scary spiritual ride, "The Last Day" delivers a story of unsurpassed suspense and controversy. If you just like to sit back and veg out, stick with this juvenile "Left Behind" stuff!
