Summary: SLOW--AGAIN
Review: Although it was better than Book No. 6, it could have been a little more exciting. Like some of the other reviews have said, it could have been only 30 pages long. Please, Authors, if you can't make them more exciting like the first ones, don't stretch them out to 12 books. I keep asking myself why I keep buying them--hope they will be better each time, I guess. I hope also that the authors are not in it just for the money.

Summary: Warning: ! THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR THOSE EASILY FRUSTRATED!
Review: Although I was a gung-ho fan of the series when it first came out, I have to admit I was deeply disappointed by this one. I opened the book to find margins almost and inch and 1/2 thick, and i started to sweat... I knew this would be a long haul. With all due respect, I nearly got a headache with the every-other-paragraph switching between scenes... most of which consisted of "this character or that character" begining to unfold SOME interesting piece in info.... when all of a sudden the stinking scene changes again! Although this is an effecive techinique to keep the reader's attention,... going back and forth over "who dun it" for 250 pages was a bit torturing. The characters seemed a bit more flat in this one also. (Rayford is emotionless and Chloe is the "queen of stupid decisions" through most of the book). But overall, the worst feeling was when you finally achieve the "half-way-point" and all of a sudden realize that you are smack-dab in the exact same scene that the previous book ENDED with! I have recommended this series to others in the past, but I just might hide this one and fill my fellow-readers in by word-of mouth... it might save them some frustration. I'm looking forward to the Lahaye/Jenkins' next book, because I'm sure the overall mass-rating of THIS book will hit their ears and change their "filler writing" path.

Summary: Get to the point
Review: Okay, so in ever book we go over each characters background again and again. We mention Rayford Steele's full name almost every time he's mentioned. (As opposed to all of the other Rayfords?) Anyway...The book was interesting but I honestly thought it could have been accomplished in 150 pages. The other 150 + pages were background noise. It is still interesting but...

Summary: The Idwellling, Great Book! Can't Get Enough of this series!
Review: This book is awsome. Book Seven in the Left Behind Series. This series is one of the best I've read. It leaves the reader wanting more and it's almost addictive. I literally couldn't set the book down and read it right away. If you liked any of the previous books you'll absatultly love it!

Summary: I agree with the "End-dwelling" review
Review: With the tribulation being 7 years and the thousand year reign to follow, I don't understand why the authors had to drag out 3 semi-eventful days in to an entire book. I actually used it to help me get to sleep at night. No more Left Behind books for me, I'm also going to wait for the movie.

Summary: Filling the gap between Assassins and the next book
Review: I have read each of the "Left Behind" series of books and believe some of them to be near-inspired. Still, I had found the book Nicholae to be "filler" between the books Tribulation Force and Soul Harvest and now, sadly, I discover that this book, The Indwelling, appears to be a "filler" between Assassins and the next book, due later this year. This was a moderately enjoyable book, but added very little to the storyline. Not to give the plot away, but the entire book takes place in the space of about 2 or 3 days. Mr. Jenkins and Mr. LaHaye, since last summer's Assassins cliffhanger, seem to be inspired more by the publishers purse-strings than by God in these last couple of books, and I have to wonder if keeping their readers primed to buy the next book is the only motivation they have left. Left Behind, Tribulation Force, Soul Harvest and Apollyon would rate a full FIVE stars with me. Nicholae and this book rate THREE stars. Last summer's Assassins merited maybe FOUR stars at best.

Summary: Pre-Millennialism at its "Best" (Relatively Speaking)
Review: I do have to give the authors credit: this is the most comprehensive thesis on Pre-Millennialism that I've ever seen in my life...but that's because it's fiction, as all premil writings are. I believe this book, like the rest in the series, is nothing more than apostatizing perversion of the Holy Scripture. For those of you more interested in Biblical Eschatology than thrilling sensationalism, I suggest reading PARADISE RESTORED by David Chilton.

Summary: The momentum got Left Behind
Review: Okay, I am a fan of the series, and loved most of the books, but the last 2 have dragged. Assasins was better the further you got into it, but The Indwelling bored me silly. It didn't drag, it stopped dead....I hope The Mark is better than this one was.....

Summary: Middle of the Road
Review: I enjoyed the book. I have enjoyed all of the "Left Behind" books. However, in the beginning the authors had mapped out 6 or 7 books. What happened with that? Even the Bible isn't that long to try and get a point across. While I enjoyed the book and will read the remaining ones, at the same time I feel like I am being ripped off by men of God. And I feel like that is too bad and very sad at the same time. Perhaps we truly are in the "last days". I suppose I am the fool though because I will buy the rest of them, providing the actual Rapture doesn't occur first, because I have been enjoying them.All of us know our own souls. We all have a decision to make where Christ is concerned. It would be my hope that many would come to know him through these books. For many people the Bible is hard to read and these are very easy to read and follow. While it is fiction, it is also someone's viewpoint of what could be down the road. My opinion, my words.

Summary: The Indwelling
Review: The 7th installment in the "Left Behind" holds the audience's attention well. The anticipation for the coming of the second half of the Tribulation is met with quite a "different" Nicolae for the readers. The Tribulation force will now be confronted with no doubt their biggest challenge. The value in this and the other books from the series lies in their instilled curiousity to descern fact from friction. Perhaps such reviewers that tend to give little credence to the book's value should adopt "John" as a preferred author.
