Summary: Good Book but not the best in the series.
Review: This book is hard to get started on but once you get past the first half it goes pretty fast. It starts out with the rapture and every thing follows from there. It really is a foundation for the rest of the series. Starting with tragidy and ending with suspence. this book will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Summary: This book takes you on a real faith journey!
Review: Left Behind is a novel by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. I really enjoyed reading this book, and can understand why it is a best seller. For all Christians who are strong in their faith, I would recommend reading this book. In this fiction book the theme is about the rapture, and this novel reveals how the world will end. Rayford Steele, a pilot, is flying one day and comes to the realization that half of his crew is gone. They are gone but all their valuables and clothes are still there like they just disappeared. How can this be? Is it God? Is it Nature? He has to try to make sense of what is going on while he is home. Can he still be saved? Can he figure out what is going on? This marvelous book takes the reader on a journey with many twists and turns. I would encourage people to read this to get some idea of the authors theory of what will happen to all mankind at the time of the rapture.

Summary: Christ Clone Trilogy is SO MUCH BETTER!!
Review: I stopped reading this series after #4 (Soul Harvest). I kept reading Left Behind hoping it would get better. It didn't. I also read (actually started reading) We All Fall Down, but there the foul language was SO EXCESSIVE I couldn't keep going. Finally I read the books of The Christ Clone Trilogy (why do I feel like Goldilocks here?) and it was "just right!" Actually it was GREAT! So if you're tired of Buck and Rayford playing James Bond, and all the females in the LB world cooing, have a look at The Christ Clone Trilogy.

Summary: Left Behind Review
Review: Left Behind,
A Novel of the Earth's Last Days
Left Behind is a captivating interpretation of the Christian view of the end of the world. The storyline is easy to follow as it tells of two people, Rayford Steele, an airline pilot, who comes home after the disaster to find that his wife and son are among the missing and Buck Williams, a famous magazine journalist, who sees the disappearances as an opportunity for a great story. These two characters' stories eventually intertwine as they go through emotional and spiritual changes leading them to Christianity. The story follows a biblical theme showing how a chain of events predicted in the Bible happen and how more are to follow including the disappearances of Christians and the rise of Nicolae Carpathia, the Anti-Christ. Most of the characters are well-developed and believable, facing many issues in their lives though they all seem to play too much of a role in the fate of the world, especially Buck. The story's strong point is that you don't have to be very knowledgeable about the Bible in order to understand what is going on because the characters explain things as you go along. The plot of the story is interpretive, making you think and wonder if the book will someday come true. This gives the book a mysterious sense and it will keep most any reader captivated. This book is easy to read and most readers would find it so interesting they won't be able to put it down until they're done. I would recommend Left Behind for anyone.

Summary: LEFT BEHIND SUCCEEDS ON ITS TERMS
Review: As a mystery author with my debut novel in its initial release, I do my best to read widely to learn which books work and which books don't. If a book doesn't succeed, I won't bother to review it. There are enough anonymous critics who get their kicks panning books while they keep themselves securely hidden namelessly in cyberspace. LEFT BEHIND succeeds on its terms. It tells its tale from a evangelical perspective. It doesn't pretend to be doing anything else. LEFT BEHIND reads well, and its characters are interesting. Personally, I am very grateful for this series because reading these books helped my second son through a difficult phase of his teenaged life. He graduated from high school as a National Merit Scholar and will soon be returning from college to escort his girlfriend, the young lady who gave him LEFT BEHIND as a Christmas gift, to their homeoming dance. LEFT BEHIND works, especially on its own terms.

Summary: LEFT BEHIND CAN'T BE MISSED!
Review: There aren't enough adjectives to describe this outstanding book, and the beginning of the "Left Behind" series. The smooth combination of fiction and solid Biblical truths made a dynamic combination. Even if the reader isn't knowledgeable regarding the End Time theology of the Scripture, this book will make it understandable and a marvelous read.I recommend this book for everyone. Even the atheist will find it fascinating!

Summary: Change
Review: If I was a person good with words, I could probably write a maximum of 1,000 words for this review. I am not such a person and that is why my title for this review consists of one word. "CHANGE" After reading Left Behind, My thinking has changed, I look at things in a whole new light. It is just so much I can't explain, because there is still so much more that I don't understand. I loved listening to every minute of my audio book.

Summary: Why this book is totally sweet: by Alex Miller
Review: When my friend Kyle gave me this book I was all like, "Dude, this is totally weak!" I started reading it and it was all about good and evil and all. I'm being totally seriously, dude, it was so sweet. This dude is an airline pilot and doesn't believe in God and stuff. I'm a pilot and so is my friend Kyle, too. I'm totally seriously, this guy was a pilot and everyone vanished and I was so freaked. It was totally weak but I kept reading and all these people vanished and then Satan was put in charge of the UN and killed some people. I'm totally seriously!

Summary: Can this be our future?
Review: I've read all this series to date. The new book that is coming out the end of October is on my "must buy" list. This series is not for everyone. Though I wish everyone would read it. It may seem a little "overdone" for those who are not of the Christian faith, but Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins are just trying to make the book of Revalation more understandable. Just look at what's happening in the world today and you can see the parallel with what is written in Revelation. I think it's important that the "message" gets out there. The series can seem like "gloom and doom" but people really do need to heed the warning. My only disparaging remark is that the people in the series seem to have access to almost impossible resources (cars, housing, fake ID's, etc.) which doesn't ring believable. If someone is looking for a series that will clarify the Book of Revelation, this will help.

Summary: Late Starter, but hooked!
Review: I was a late-comer to the Left Behind phenomenom, but I'm here to stay (uh... until Jesus comes, that is). I want to thank the authors for writing such an amazing series for this reason: After Graduate school, I stopped reading for pleasure because I was burned out on reading, period. But, this series has me back on the pleasure reading bandwagon. I am now caught up with reading #1 - #8, and am like the rest of you.... WAITING, WAITING, WAITING for #9!!
