Rating: Summary: Armageddon Review: Does not meet the expectation as set-up by the previous books. Not enough dialogue on the anit-christ and the people who are being saved, poorly written last 100 pages. If the authors are trying to keep true to Revelation they have totally missed out on the interpretation of this biblical book and what truely is believed to happen in the end times.
Rating: Summary: Love it Review: I couldnt put this book down. I dont care what any one says. If you believe in God and the bible you will love this book. To bad there are not more opened minded people in this world. That would except the truth. Because this will happen one day.
Rating: Summary: Mixed feelings Review: Ok, publication of this series of books is taking longer than the seven years alloted for the Great Tribulation! Hence, the three stars. While I'm hooked and will probably read the last book (unless Jenkins and LaHaye decide to stretch it further), I continue to be annoyed and wearied by the wide margins and line-spacing that allows these books to be dragged on and on in the interest of marketing and profits and little else. However, I have to say that the end of this book with the band of tired and depleted original Trib Force members watching and waiting for the appearance of Christ was quite thrilling and if indeed the next book is the last, it should be a good one. This series of books has had a life of it's own and if the stories have caused people to go to the Scriptures and search for the truth that's all to the good, but enough already - please bring it to an end and stop with the marketing ploys. Continuing to publish books easily read in a couple of hours at 20 bucks a pop has ceased to be good stewardship on the part of these undoubtedly sincere people and makes me concerned that it will do more harm than good to the cause of Christ.
Rating: Summary: Fast Reading but not Up to Par Review: Like other commentators, I am somewhat hooked on this series, even though I'm skeptical about its theology. In my opinion, the earlier novels were the most interesting, peaking at Book Six: Assassins. It may be because the latter books did little character development, and much of the action seems repetitious and dragged out. Too, some of the main characters take some really foolhardy risks here with insufficient motivation and wind up being killed off. Yet these books are really quite fast moving (although they are in no sense literature)and LaHaye/ Jenkins know how to write popular fiction and keep people interested.
Rating: Summary: very good Review: This book is very good I read the reveiws everybody is different for 14.oo bucks I really enjoyed it .
Rating: Summary: The Best of The Left Behind Books Review: I REALLY liked this book from beginning to end!! I'm ready for number 12!!!!
Rating: Summary: Good Series But Not Quite Up To Par. Review: This series goes on and on I want closure, it is an enjoyable read...authors have 'dragged' out the last couple of books and it's very discouraging. They should stick to their earlier trend. ...I highly recommend all these books and you should read the reviews.. I can't recommend them enough. Everybody I have lent them to loved them.
Rating: Summary: Another non-stop read! Review: Once again, an excellent portrayal based upon what we know from Scripture. I read the book within 38 hours because I just didn't want to put it down! Be prepared for some surprises. Understandably, the clarity with which the end times events are presented will inevitably cause non-Christians some discomfort.
Rating: Summary: Bush's Bedtime Reading Review: This is an ideal way to see into the mind of the right-wing Christian fundamentalist who is running this country. This book is dangerous escapist nonsense which peddles fear and bigotry to a population that ought to know better. If the right wing put more money into education, perhaps people would see through this claptrap and think for themselves.
Rating: Summary: It Wheezes To The End Review: The dynamic duo of the End Times twins - LaJenkins let the wheels come off in this next to last installment of the "Left Behind" series. They have made a mish-mash of this latest book. Let's see - check the other reviews for plot considerations but here are a few observations. 1. Satan is a buffoon in these books. Stupid, not too evil, and (for a supernatural being) dumb as a box of rocks. 2. Catastrophe after catastrophe befall the earth, any one of which would do the planet in - but the heroes still fly the world at will, never having problems with fuel. Life continues on for most people, who despite the end of the world being at hand, just plod thru their days like any other. 3. The main characters suddenly turned stupid. Started taking risks and acting like kids out of the blue. Memo to the LaJenkins duo: did you think no one would notice these schizophrenic developments? 4. God never speaks directly on issue in these books, preferring to speak in riddles. Why? If you started this series you should be one book away from the conclusion and finally put this to rest.
