Summary: Suspense that kept me up reading all night.
Review: I'd only expected another fast-paced 'end of the world' tale - maybe with a few twists. Was I surprized! This is one of the finest books I've read in years. Great storyline, compelling characters. A thought-provoking novel that actually propelled me into some honest self-evaluation. What a terrific adventure!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: EXCELLENT book that makes you take stock of your life!
Review: I bought this book on a lark and came away VERY impressed with it and anxious to read the rest! Pity that I have to wait until after Christmas, because I want to read them NOW (I have a hunch my mother has bought the rest of them for me for Christmas). If you know people that like to read good fast-paced stories and are also interested in the End Times - then DEFINITELY get them this book and the sequels! Worth every penny if it can save your life!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome Book!
Review: This book is a great one for most readers. My mother asked me to read it because I was a doubting Christian. It's helped a lot! It is really interesting, and it caught my attention.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This a really AWESOME book!
Review: I'm SO glad my mom supplies me with good literature! I got this book from my older brother, who got it from our pastor, who got it from Provident. This book is so... possible, that I ran downstairs to make sure everybody was still there! I'm dying to read all the other books! I couldn't put the book down until past midnight! I'm so glad that my brother was so hyped up about the book, or else I might have not wanted to read it! I think everybody in the world should read this book!!!!!!! ( And I'm only 13!)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great book! Very thought provoking....
Review: I could not put the book down! Once I began reading it, I could not stop. Although the characters are fictional, it does make one think of his own personal relationship with God. Would YOU be among those taken by God as HIS people? If you can't answer that question, then it's time to develop that relationship today!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Left Behind shows great changes in people though many losses
Review: "Left Behind" is a great book for anyone of a Christian faith. Possibly other religions too. Left behind showed the changes in human thought through losses of loved ones, finding new friends, and creating new reationships.

In an instant millions of people vanish leaving everything behind. Many see these loved ones disappear before their very eyes, only to find a stack of clothes, the occaiasional book or contact lenses.

Finding new friends encourages 3 characters to change their views towards a more encouraging, and possibly more lagical, reason for the unaccounted for.

And learing to trust and love are foreshadowing for the next book in the series, "Tribulation Force."

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: It's the great beggining to a great series!
Review: I really loved the book. I actually read it in Portuguesse for the first time. I wonder in how many other languages it is printed in. I loved the plot, the characters, the way it's written, and the way it progresses. I could not put it down for one minute. I had to read it the whole way through. I recomend it very much. When I finished, I knew that there had to be a sequel, even though I wasn't sure.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Dream on . . .
Review: Just where the pre-trib rapture belongs: in the fiction category along with Meier, Lindsey, and Missler. Typical Christian pre-trib conspiracy theory fables and cliches, wordy, long winded, and boring. Blew by the Ezekiel 38 war in a paragraph which might have made the book more interesting had he taken more of a Tom Clancy approach to it. If you buy this book, you are wasting your money and falling for another of Satan's lies. Read your Bibles people! No where in it does it say that you will be raptured before the Tribulation period.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Cheap thrillers and theology don't mix
Review: Lahaye and Jenkins are not"novelists" in the literary sense of the word. They are preachers in the tradition of "Doomsday prophets and/or profits". The publisher claims that over 1.5 million copies of the books in the series have been sold already. Are there that many 'Born Again' religious cultists hoping and praying for the 'Rapture'? We live in a world that seems to present new threats and conflicts on a daily basis. The authors of this book have wasted about 450 pages to say what they could have in a 10 page essay. Those who are sincere in their faith and have accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior will go to Heaven. All others will be left behind in a world that may very well be ruled by Satan himself, a devil disguised to look like Robert Redford. Real trite. Satan would have more imagination than this. The novel is an insult to the reader and to Satan. His cunning is far more wicked than what Lahaye and Jenkins present. The main characters in the novel, like Rayford Steele, are also trite and cardboard stick figures. This is almost comic book fiction. I read the first few chapters with some interest but finally just skimmed the book and tossed it aside. The writing would appeal to anyone with the educational level of a sixth grader but insults the intelligence of any adult reader. And this includes anyone who believes in Jesus. Holy hustlers, anything to sell a pulp novel. I'm sure Lahaye and Jenkins are enjoying their profits from this novel and the others in the series, but their style of writing is that of holy hustlers out to make a buck. I want a refund. Sincerely, R. McKinney
