Rating:  Summary: Fast paced reading Review: While this series doesn't have the depth of literary allusions that classics like T.S. Eliott's "The Waste Land" has, it does read very quickly with a plot that keeps the reader engaged. I read the first one within a week, and have been averaging two days on 2-5. It just can't be put down. The characters are believable, and you find yourself sympathizing greatly with their predicament. There are moments when style breaks down, (For instance, a developing romance that begins to read like a harlequin book) but overall the depth of characters and plot compensate for it. It is a great book for anyone looking for light reading, and may even spur you into delving deeper into the book of Revelation.
Rating:  Summary: Compelling read... Review: ...for both Christians and non-believers alike. Although written as a fictional account, the book will give readers a glimpse of a possible timeline of events that could happen as foretold in the Book of Revelation.The plot draws you in right from the start when the rapture occurs and makes you truly think: "what if I am taken and my love ones are not? or "what if I am the one left behind?". "How would life be without them?" Hard to put down as you follow the stories of Rayford Steele (the 747 captain) and Buck Williams (the ace reporter) as they try to make sense of what has happened. Be prepared to read into the early hours of the morning. Try Tribulation Force next!
Rating:  Summary: A true vision of the end of civilization Review: My heart sinks and I despair at the closing of the American mind when I hear tell of these ridiculous books selling millions of copies. The hillbillies must be lining up at the Sam's Club book section to purchase these jewels.
Rating:  Summary: FANTASTIC Review: I was dubious when I bought the first book, but now I am totally hooked. I finished the first one, got in the car and bought the second one. They are very well written and capture your attention from the start, I can't read fast enough! I always want to know what will happen next. I highly recommend them, even for non-christians.
Rating:  Summary: The left behind series Review: I found the entire Left behind series of books to be a warm suspensful way to bring forth a new message of spiritualism, in a very easy to absorbe story line.I found it to be easily understood, and to visualize the goings on. The story unfolds, with each section being given a seperate vein, that all ties together as you keep reading. The story tellers have done a wonderful job weaving the bible into a terrific followable way that people can relate to. I throughly enjoyed reading the first six; and couldn't wait for the newest one, The Mark. It's interesting that the writers keep you in suspence until near the end of a particular novel where they let you in on the potential newest book to come out. Much like a sequel.
Rating:  Summary: Let's help the children Review: When I was growing up in a fundamentalist religion, I had times when I would feel great fear frustration and pain. My religious training assured me that I could not go to God for help because I was bad and he really had some strong punishment in mind for me. When I discovered this all to be a lie, I discovered a source of love that could heal any pain. The authors and fans of this book are insuring that many children will feel as I did. Great work guys and girls.
Rating:  Summary: Prepared to be stunned! Review: Your chin will drop in your lap before you get out of the first chapter. This "fictional" account of the end times to come is compelling and very hard to put down.My hat is off to the authors. I am a very savvy reader. It is very diffcult to keep my attention and they have done it extremely well!
Rating:  Summary: Am I Alone ? Review: I found this book disappointing and poorly written. The premise is most interesting, but it is not developed. The characters are weak, the continuity wobbles and the biblical references are sketchy. The authors assume a huge leap of faith, and then, simply repeat the message. I wonder if this message could not be conveyed more effectively in a pampflet or perhaps serialized in a tabloid.
Rating:  Summary: This Book is Awesome!! Review: I started to read this book and couldn't put it down! The characters were so real with the same problems and daily temptations we face, but when the rapture of the saints comes and people and all the children disappear all over the world, WOW! It's wonderful how those LEFT BEHIND begin to see that they are living in the end times that the Book of Revelation speaks about and how they rely on God and each other in order to survive and help others find God before it's too late! This book had me riveted every moment and I couldn't wait for the next book in this series to be published! If you are looking for an interesting read with subject matter ripped from today's headlines as well as a book with a relevant message, this book is the one for you!
