Review: This book is great! A must have for any one who enjoyed the first seven.Sadly,a lot of people are killed by the well-meaning but naive Leon Fortunato. The good news: Hattie Durham is finally a Christian.(pg.134)

Summary: Wonderful Books but some are not...
Review: I have read the Left Behind Series. Although I enjoy this series very much there are twp books that have been hard to get into so far. I did not read Nicholae and I have had trouble reading The Mark, I am a college student and that may be part of the problem but over all this series is WONDERFUL! I do agree that the books are to spread out...it would be much better if they could be closer together. I am fascinated by the end times and this book and the others are an excellent description of both ficion and nonfiction predictions of the endtimes!

Summary: I don't get it!
Review: I have done my best to stick with this series, but so help me, I am giving up. I've read enough end time thrillers to offer SOME semblance of appreciation for the genre, but it escapes me how this droning rehash qualifies any more. I quit. And I quit on this note: for all the Apocalyptic novels I've read, there is NONE that delivers the power and the punch of Glen Klier's THE LAST DAY. Anyone who raves about these LEFT BEHIND "sermons" owes it to themselves to read a QUALITY work of Judgment Day fiction with well crafted characters, plot and suspense. THE LAST DAY presents all of this and more, including a "spirituality check" that is both provocative and mind opening. Neither THE MARK nor any of its predecessors comes close to THE LAST DAY in challenging the reader's mind or soul.

Summary: There's nothing here.
Review: What's amazing about this book is that you don't have to buy it. Just hang out at a Barnes & Noble or a Borders for about half an hour, and you can breeze through the whole thing. There's nothing here, just a few events tied together with pages and pages of filler. So save yourself the money, and don't support them in their marketing enterprise.By the way, did you notice that even their scary death punishment threat is unoriginal? These techno-cool end-of-the-world types can't even come up with a new way of killing people off; they resort to the guillotine from three centuries ago. And LaHaye and Jenkins even borrowed this idea from the Thief in the Night video series that was produced in the 70s. Come on, guys! Get some imagination! What do these millions of book buyers pay you for? (Rumor has it that the authors have negotiated a staggering 33% royalty rate for these books. The usual rate is about 10%. How's that for greedy? And LaHaye just sued the Left Behind movie production company for not making it a nationwide blockbuster. Sheesh. Maybe the problem was the weakness of the source material.)

Summary: Much Improved
Review: I've made comments on the previous 2 books, and I just want to say that this latest book in the series is much improved from the previous couple of books. So I'm glad I've kept reading. Now I'm looking forward to the next in the series.

Summary: Bending, breaking, trashing Scripture by Dispensationalists
Review: I would rated this a no-star but ya can't do that! This book (and all the books in the series) is based on the 'last days' madness infecting the large majority of the Christian churches in United States. Dispensationalism is what this book series is putting forth (in fiction form) and this belief system has largely been discredited biblically. (see www.prophecybooks.com) The major seminaries don't teach it anymore because it cannot be defended in a biblical and scholarly matter. If you want to learn some truth about God and the last days (or end-times), you won't find it here. If you just want some exciting FICTION, this book (and the series) will provide in double heapings (oh, the irony!).

Summary: No apolagies- we deserve something better
Review: My mother gave me all eight of the Left Behind books for Christmas. Out of sheer politness, I read them all. I won't mince words here- they were horrible. I read the bad reviews here for these books and all too often have found the reviewers falling over themselves apologizing for the fact that they didn't like the books, as though it made them a bad Christian. Nonsense. Just because I'm a Christian doesn't mean that I'm supposed to accept everything that's written about my religion as if it's the word of God or somehow holy in itself. These books are very very badly written. The characters speak with laughable dialouge, the plot has obviously been strung out so that the authors can make money off 12 books instead of seven, and worst of all, there is no real exploration of Christianity in these novels. Oh sure, they take place durring the Biblical Apocalypse, but beyond that, the authors keep the eploration of religious ideas to the level of a fifth grade sunday school class. If you say you believe in Christ,you are automatically a good, moral person who does not swear, smoke, have sex, get angry, get jealous, or have any other faults. If you do not believe in Jesus, you are evil and should die and burn in Hell for all eternity. Reducing the Christian religion down to such a simplistic, almost idiodic level is a shame. It doesn't help Christians to become better Christians and it certainly is not going to help welcome non-Christians into the fold. It will however, allow Christians to feel smugly superior because of what they believe and drive others away from Jesus if they think this trite is reprasentative of what we believe. It's a real shame that these books have become as popular as they have because aside from being useless as far as the writing goes, they might be doing some real damage to people who are looking for the truth and give these books a shot for helping to provide it. There are some quality books out there about the subject that are well written and have something important to say and I'd suggest anyone looking to read Christian fiction should check those out instead. We All Fall Down by Brian Caldwell is the best that I've read. It's thoughtful, insightful, and a very powerful read. I've heard good things about the Christ Clone Trilogy also, although I haven't read it myself. Either way, avoid these books as they're not doing the Christian faith any favors.

Summary: Left Behind
Review: I,ve read all 8 books and Im waiting for the next one they are taking too long. I've never read so many books so fast, didnt get much sleep, but I would finish them overnight and ran and bought the rest of the ones I needed. At this time I'm now reading the Bible and I love it and will not stop reading it. I was a very catholic person, but now after Left Behind I have converted.I'm also reading a amazing book called Once a Catholic, is incredible. I thank both Mr. LaHaye and Mr. Jenkins for opening my eyes. And I think your grammar is excellent! Please harry anb finish the next book, I'm waiting. You guys are my HEROES!!!!!

Summary: This is a good book!
Review: This was a book that I did not want to put down! I have read all the books in the series, and I thought this one was great! I really enjoyed the action packed drama of this book, and how it kept me on my toes wondering what was going to happen next. Yes, the authors wrote a fictional book that is based on biblical happenings. They have created a fictional book, based on the Bible, and created scenes the way they imagine they might play out during the tribulation. Who can say how things are really going to happen? Can a person who is a Christian be forced to take the Mark of the Beast? Debatable! I can't say for sure, only God knows, and that is how I look at the Rapture. I base my beliefs on the Bible, and not on this book. I think it is a tool that has helped me to look at the book of Revelation a little closer. They have helped me examine my life, and how I live. I can't wait for the next book to come out!

Summary: Not a remarkable read
Review: This book based on the end times in Revelation disappointed me. Written on the level of a fifth grader as one reviewer observed, it has cardboard characters and lacks the qualities of good fiction.
