Summary: The series is fizzling out. . .
Review: I read the first book years ago, and have read them all immediately upon release, so I am not hostile toward the Left Behind series, BUT. . . this book just isn't good. I have the same complaint as many of the others who posted here. The book took too long to get to the good stuff. I can't believe the whole book only covered something like three or four days! But what really upsets me is the title of the book is "The Indwelling," which leads you to believe you are going to see the beast in action, but Nicolae doesn't even rise until the very last pages. ARGH! It's frustrating, but I will be buying the rest of the books anyway, just to see how they are and to complete my set. I just wish the author(s) would try to recapture the magic of the first book. It really has been all down hill from "Left Behind."

Summary: The Indwelling - a little slow
Review: I must say I am a little disappointed in this book. It moved way to slow. The Assassin finished when they were just about to say who killed Carpathia. I expected the Indwelling to continue on from that point in time. I couldn't believe I had to read through half of the book to discover who did it. (Not that I didn't already know before I even started reading this book.) I still love the series and hope the next ones will pick it up a bit.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: I could not wait, or so I thought, until the 7th in the series came out. I was, however, very disappointed. It is almost as if the authors had to get a book out just for the sake of being on schedule and this one is just a pacifier until they write a real book. The flow of the book is choppy. I only recommend reading it so that you can stay up to date and know what is going in when the movie comes out.

Summary: Eliminate 200 pages and we could have a winner!
Review: While the first six books in the "Left Behind" series were difficult to put down, "The Indwelling" annoyed me with its perpetual wheel spinning. After reading more than 200 pages of this book, I was irritated that it was still at the same point in time where the previous book had ended. If the authors need to buy more time between publications, I recommend that they do not make their readers wait so long. Make the volumes smaller, eliminate picayune details and repetitious verbiage, and publish more frequently. Readers do not need 400 pages when the story can be told in 150.

Summary: The Best Yet
Review: I loved this book! In my opinion, it is the best one written yet. No slow parts, always leaving you in anticipation of what will happen next!

Summary: DISAPPOINTING
Review: I am an avid Left Behind Series reader. I've read all the books and own all the CD's that have come out. I'm hooked! BUT...the latest - The Indwelling - has no punch, no bite. I understood when the series first started that it would be seven books. This is book seven and we're only at the three and a half year mark, and then this book covers such a small space in time that it may be four more years to complete the series. Don't get me wrong, I'm in no hurry to get to the END but the books need to keep moving at the pace of the first six. My wife says I'm wrong, and I pray I am, but it appears that the authors may be getting greedy (more books than originally planned, payed speaking engagements, a movie, CD's and tapes). Mr. Lahaye, Mr. Jenkins, please get back to the basics which has made this series so popular. This is the first time I've seen so many negative reviews for any of your books. I hope you're seeing them, too. God Bless.

Summary: Luke-warm on the "Left Behind" heat-o-meter
Review: This book is a good read, but a little slow considering the other successes in this book series. The story moves slowly without Carpathia around, but picks up steam when he makes his reappearance. Just when the things really get rolling, the book ends. I guess they know how to make you come back for more...

Summary: Christians do not embrace situational ethics
Review: While this series provides an interesting and entertaining look at the eschatology of those who believe that Jesus will ever set His Foot back on this sin-cursed earth, I am somewhat disturbed by the authors' flirting with the philosophy of situational ethics. The character Cloe, in "The Indwelling", contemplates the murder of her child to prevent his falling into enemy hands. God has stated, "Thou shalt not kill". True believers know that the end never justifies the means, and we reject the concept of situational ethics. Mr. Jenkins, and Mr. LeHaye, I would ask that you consider the influence that you are exerting upon the minds of others via this series, and tread carefully.

Summary: disappointed again
Review: I've been hanging in here, waiting for God knows what with this series. The first book was great -- thought provoking and a little bit frightening. Every book since then has been a disappointment. And with each new release, my suspicion grows that Jenkins and Lahaye are greedy; trying to sell more books by stretching this series wayyyyyyy out. Well, this is it. No more. I've read my last Left Behind book.

Summary: Can't wait for the next one!
Review: I waited sooo long for this book and I can't belive I finished in 1 day! I have to agree that alot happens in the book over a short amount of time but the story continued to flow in a wonderful way. I LOVE these books. I too was surprised at who actually assasinated Nicolae. It's about time Rayford pulled himself up by the his bootstraps and got back to the business of leading the Trib Force! And don't you just love Albe? Like I said ... I hate to wait for Fall of 2000 for the next installment!
