Summary: Your hear beats faster... then you realize, its JUST a book.
Review: "Left Behind: The Kids #8 Death Strike" is based on the best-selling book, "Left Behind." It is the story of four young friends going through the Rapture and Tribulation. This book has it all: action, adventure, death, romance, and even that high school speech we all dread. The authors are Jerry B. Jenkins, and Tim Lahaye, and this is their newest book in a series of 48. I have enjoyed all eight and cannot wait for #9 ("The Search") and #10 ("On the Run"), comming in May of 2000.

Summary: Hooked on Left Behind
Review: Death Strike is the 8th book in the LBTK series, and probably the most crammed, adventure filled book, in the whole series to date (#32, and counting).
We last left off with Vicki being taken back to Northside Detention Center. After a run-in with trouble, Vicki is left injured within the first few pages, and recieves word that there is someone that would like to adopt her! Who could it be, and will she want to go with them? Also, Vicki finds friendship within a girl named Janie, but wonders if she will ever believe the truth.
Meanwhile, back home, Judd, Lionel, and Ryan are left amazed through the teachings of Pastor Bruce Barnes. With new security measures being brought up within Nicolae High, can they really risk bringing back "The Underground", since they have witnessed the trouble it can bring?
With the return of a new friend, Judd decides to travel to Israel with Bruce, but when a mysterious illness strikes the pastor, the Young Trib Force is left to deal with the loss of a great friend, and the disapperance of another. World Word 3 begins, and it's going to be a rocky ride.
Truly a favorite in the series, Death Strike delivers and really set the standards I've put the series up to. Always suspensful, and always inpirational, this series is one that you can't afford not to read.

Summary: GREAT FOR YOUNG CHRISTIANS
Review: I bought the LEFT BEHIND, THE KIDS for my daughter and I got really involved in them myself.When we get started reading them we can't put them down till we finish them. It really gets you to think about what is going to happen soon. PARENTS: READ THE ADULT SERIES; VERY INTERESTING!

Summary: Excellent for younger fans of Left Behind
Review: I first read the entire adult series of Left Behind, and loved it. Despairing that I'd have to wait sooo long for the next book, I read the Kids series, and enjoyed it as well. I think these books are wonderful for people to read, especially the younger ones who wouldn't be interested in reading the 400 plus pages in the adult series. However, for older fans of the Kids series who haven't read the other set, I would definitely recommend reading those as well. The characters from both series interact, and although the Kids series fits its readers' age group well, readers get a lot more of what's happening in the adult version. I may sound a bit partial to the adult series, but that's probably because I read them first and I'm dying to get the seventh book. I am looking forward to the 9th and 10th of the kids series (so is my brother, who's just started reading them). By the way, they will be #9 The Search and #10 On the Run for those who are interested in the future coming titles. Hope I haven't confused anyone about the kids and adults books.

Summary: Series for adults now rewritten for teens
Review: I have always enjoyed the adult series of Left Behind books. The kids books are just as good. The kids interact with the characters from the adult series, experience the same events, etc. However, since the main characters are teens, these books can appeal to younger readers. So far, the stories haven't had the ups and downs that the adult series has had. The adult series has books that are a lot more boring than others. The kids series seems to be good in every book. These are not for really young kids, but would be appropriate for young teens. I enjoy them and I am an adult.
Rating:
Summary: I give 5 stars to all
Review: I like to read a variety of books, but since I have come upon the adult and kid's series of left behind, I just can't really get into another book until I know I have read the last one of both series.

Summary: Left Behind The Kids Book #8 Death Strike
Review: I liked the book alot.A few reason I liked the book were the charecters. the charecters remind me of some of my friends. Smoe brave, some strong, some fun. Another reeason is how the author set up the chapters.At the end of one chhapter it would leave you at a climax so you would keep reading to find out whats going to happen. The third reason is how descriptive the author was. A good example is When the planes are destroying the city. The author does'nt leave out any details.
The best part of the book was at the end. The planes attacked the city and starting destroying things. That was realy exciting. What i did'nt understand was why the author put that part at the end. I guess it was so you read go get the next book in the series to find out what going to happen then.
There were some good story elements in this book. one was the setting. the book had fun and exciting places. Another was the climax. Ther was a climax at the end of each chapter. I suggest this book to everyone.

Summary: Left Behind The Kids Book #8 Death Strike
Review: Like all the other books in the Left Behind the Kids series, this book is exciting and unpredictable. As the series progresses, each book has more danger and risks. What happens to Vicky at the detention center, and does Judd get his opportunity to speak at the graduation ceremony? Of course you want to find out!!This is a great Christian series, and for those who argue that it is totally unrealistic, I think it doesn't matter. Who knows what will really happen? These books challenge the reader to consider possible scenerios, and if you don't want to believe it, the book still is great fiction. Unlike many other books, that you know will turn out fine at the end, you know these books could have almost any possible ending. At book 8, I'm finally realizing that with these books, expect anything to happen. How the kids, particularly Judd, spread Christianity in this book surpised me so much, it almost didn't surprise me. Expect the unexpected- but once you start reading you won't be able to put it down!
