Summary: Harhar!
Review: I must admit, these reviews are all quite amusing. If any of you want to see a truly powerful, compelling, and thought-provoking treatment of the end-of-the-world, whether you are a religious person or not, check out the Japanese anime NEON GENESIS EVANGELION.

Summary: Fiction Meets Theological Fantasy
Review: Many reviewers have pointed out that this is a poorly written book. That is certainly correct in that it seems to be written for those who read little and its plot and character development is rather thin. Then, of course, one could mention the use of very wide margins and large print. The characters, however, are sympathetically portrayed and one can easily maintain interest in their stories. The fundamental problem, however, with this book is its fundamentalism. The bizzare American Protestant Fundamentalist concept of the "Rapture" is the crudest sort of theological fantasy. It has no basis in the theological tradition of the Christian Church. It is a recent invention that is without support in tradition or the Bible. Readers who want a realistic understanding of apocalypticism in the Bible should turn to a good Biblical commentaries on the books of Daniel and Revelation. The notion of the "Rapture" is certainly NOT supported by any non-fundamentalist scholar of the Bible. And the teachings of Jesus certainly contradict it. The Parable of the Weeds in the Wheat from Matthew 13 alone discounts this bizarre fundamentalist shibboleth.

Summary: You are all quite quite mad
Review: You are all out of you minds. If this is how God behaves, he is too. This is appalling Right Wing drivel designed to convince inadequates that they are better than the rest of us.Throw this book away.

Summary: I couldn't put this down. Easy/Fun reading.
Review: I couldn't put this book down. The book was easy reading yet it still encouraged and challenged me as a christian. If you want a christian philosophy book don't get this, but if you want good christian entertainment - this is the book for you.

Summary: THE BEST---More truth than fiction
Review: I LOVED THESE BOOKS. I read all 5 books in the series in 9 days! (And I've already started Assassins and it appears it's going to be as good as the rest). People keep referring to these books as fiction (which in essence they are) but they are based on more truth than fiction. People need to wake up. If you don't believe the events in these books could really happen, all you have to do is READ YOUR BIBLE. IT'S ALL THERE!!!! One of the things that make these books so spellbinding is, as you're reading them, you feel like you are getting a glimpse into the future. The authors have done an excellent job in interpreting a complicated and hard to understand subject with very good accuracy and creating an unforgettable story. The characters and their lives were so real I could not wait to see what would happen next.

Summary: Awsome
Review: I was hesitant at first since this book is categorized as religious fiction. Thank god (no pun intended) i picked it up. It is fabulous. The reading is fast and gives great insight into the bible, especially for someone who is not religious. The first book in the Left Behind series, begins a journey you will not be able to put down. Each book gets better and better. Read them all (left behind, tribulation force, nicolae, soul harvest, appollyon, assasins). I read tribulation force in 3 hours. You will not be dissapointed.

Summary: Interesting premise, but not particularly well written
Review: Since there are 600+ reviews already listed here, I'll stick to what bothers me about this book. 1. The characters are paper thin. There is no character development, and the characters are mostly indistinguishable from each other. 2. The narrative tends to be boring. There is no mental picture painting here. The authors just want to skip over lots of detail in the story instead of letting the reader experience it. Lack of writing skill here? 3. The main characters' conversions to Christianity are not very believable. They happen too quickly, too easily. There is very little soul-searching involved. Better writing might have convinced me. 4. Much of the "thinking" done by Buck, Chloe, and Rayford just doesn't fit with what little of their character has been exposed. It's just a convenient way to stick in a sermonette here and there. I *really* wish this book were better written. I love the urgency of the message. I feel that the aims of the authors are admirable, but that they should be embarrassed by their slipshod uncreative work. As a work of literature, this book would almost certainly not be published by anyone except a "religious" imprint. The authors got the message out, but it's too bad they didn't bother to craft a better read.
