Summary: Most action yet!! Some good surprises for long time fans.
Review: As both authors have taken us on a fictional/non-fictional journey for the past few years that has now spanned 11 books, there was sure to be some slow moments and some harrowing moments that would keep the reader turning pages.Often I though a few of the books were a bit too long, and maybe a couple in the series could have been consolidated to make for a more flowing and cohesive arc. I happy to report that 'Armageddon' delivers very strong story content, much more action and pacing, and quite a few character surprises that leads to the final chapter: Glorious Appearing. It seems that the 7 year tribulation is almost over. With less than a year left to the prophesized return of Jesus, the world has pretty much chosen sides, albeit there are some dissidents that have that one last chance who have yet to take the mark of Carpathia (the antichrist), or accepts the messiah. Leading up to the battle of all battles, Carpathia's iron fist begins to be more prominent....accept his mark, or die. As the beheadings pick up pace, the Lord also quickens his judgments and the world is faced with a few more 'natural' dilemma's. Armageddon picks up pace, and soon the reader is moved ahead 3 months where some of the characters we have come to enjoy meet their fate, often with dire consequences. Some of the majors will not make it all the way to the end. In a chilling moment within the book, Carpathia summons his 10 regional leaders to discuss upcoming battle plans against the rebels. Carpathia finally reveals to them his true nature and his true intent in a very descriptive manner on how he wasn't the 'only' angel around when he became conscious and describes his interactions with the one who calls himself God and his son Jesus, and how they had met once before and have been locked in a struggle for millennia. Carpathia finishes his 'pep-talk' with some supernatural acts, and its surprising how his followers react and respond. The book closes as a cliffhanger as the reader once again is moved forward in time: Carpathia and his forces, an army unlike the world has ever seen before, are at the doors of the Holy City and that of the rebellion stronghold of Petra. Here the remaining undecided world dissidents must make their final choice, as it is only hours away from when Jesus is prophesized to return and deal with Carpathia in the ultimate battle.

Summary: suspense at times was almost unbearable
Review: I am finally coming to the end of this book that was to me one of the most difficult, yet suspenseful books of the whole series so far. I had to keep reminding myself that this was Christian fiction, as it was extremly violent and graphic. I was totally "stunned" to find towards the end of this book that one of the main, original characters of the beginning was killed in the manner that they were. I had cried during these difficult pages, and I am still saddened by the way it was handled. I didn't even see it coming until it was too late. Even then, I kept hoping that this person would be found and rescued by some of the other members of the Trib force, and not until an angel appeared, did I then realize that this person would indeed die. Whew! That over, I am now anxiously waiting to finish the last several pages so that I can begin the final book of the "Glorious Appearing". Gosh, if this book doesn't get you by the throat, then you need to check your pulse to see if you are still among the living.

Summary: A Little Preachy
Review: I have enjoyed the Left Behind series, but I've felt that as the books have progressed the story has turned to more preaching and less story-telling. It is still an easy read, though, and I would recommend the series to anyone.

Summary: A Book Recommendation for "Left Behind" Readers
Review: As a minister, I am always enthusiastic when I recommend (from the pulpit or anywhere else) the wonderful series of "Left Behind" books, which of course focus on the last book of the Bible, Revelation as its text. For all of us who appreciate these books, I recommend an excellent book about the first book of the Old Testament.
Dennis Shulman's "Genius of Genesis" is a reverent and beautifully-written description of the glory of the Book of Genesis; and was an excellent text for our church's spring book discussion circle.
If you want to truly understand the Bible, from its last words to its first, read the "Left Behind" books and "The Genius of Genesis."

Summary: FICTION, pure and simple
Review: It disturbs me that many people seem to take these books literally, which is why I gave it only 2 stars . . . a good, thrilling, FICTIONAL representation of revelation, yet it is in FACT, fiction, people. Please stop saying things like the books make you feel happy you're "SAVED". People who "BELIEVE" in these book also probably believe WMD's will be found . . .

Summary: Romanian Anti-Christ?
Review: i haven't read the series yet and probably won't given that i now know that the anti-christ happens to be romanian. i too am romanian, born in the carpathian mountains and my middle name is nicolae. i'm sure the authors didn't mean that the actual anti-christ, when he does make himself known will be from romania, but just want all the readers out there to know that there are some good nicolaes born in the carpathian mountains in romania. that's all i have to say about that. enjoy reading the books though. I do have to add, though, that I have browsed through the pages and actually found this series to be very plain and simple. For all those who like to use their brains, don't read these...however, if you want to vegitate, this is the perfect series for you.

Summary: Taking Christians money or just had to fill a series quota?
Review: Being a Christian and completely fascinated by the end times. This series (Left Behind) started off with power, excitement, and what seemed like a inspired desire to tell this magnificent story. Unfortunately, as the series progressed it seemed the authors slowed the story considerably with each book. This latest book in the series is a poor excuse for an installment. It seems like the authors are doing everything they can to ensure they produce 12 books. I can't tell whether it's because they want to milk the Christian community for another $29.95 or if they are against a commitment to the publisher. Armageddon (Left Behind #11) has put me in the position that I can no longer recommend this book series to the saved or unsaved of this world. I understand that the authors may be trying to "thin" the story out to reach as many as possible but seeing their work as a witness to their faith...I certainly wouldn't be converted. If you wish to read a great series on the End Times please purchase "Christ Clone Trilogy".

Summary: Left behind wanting more
Review: I'm still a fan of the series, but for those readers like me who are left wanting more, I highly recommend Steve Alten's latest thriller, RESURRECTION, part of his DOMAIN series. RESURRECTION kept me turning pages like the first books in the Left Behind series did!

Summary: That will be enough guys....
Review: Mr. Jenkins and Mr. Lahaye, please stop pumping out this crap. This is like a bad Michael Crichton/Clive Cussler series for southern fundie conservatives. You're making Americanized christianity into an even bigger joke than it already is. I have a Newsflash for you Left Behind fans: People of all cultures all over the world have been predicting the end of the world since the beginning, and you know what? It hasn't happened yet, nor will it happen for a long time, and it definitely isn't going to happen like this. The fate of the human race doesn't rest on Judeo-Christian beliefs anymore than it does on New Age ones. Give it up already.

Summary: Armageddon
Review: Unfortunately, lots of people look on this series as pure fiction
with no basis in fact..Sad to say, I'm afraid many aare going to be sadly mistaken..I was enthralled from beginning to end. Yes, I
was disappointed when some of the main characters were killed, but, that made it more life-like. LaHaye and Jenkins are master weavers of the written word. I cannot wait for the "glorious appearing" This is the middle of February, though, and my wait won't be long. I loved the whole series and anyone can just use
them and go back in scripture to research for themselves.
