Summary: Religious literature that can appeal to all
Review: I can't say that I will have better things to say than what has been written before. The other comments are pretty much right on target for my feelings but I feel like I should add that this book helped to change my way of thinking. I have always been very religious but this book really does make you think about the decisions we all make daily. It is a book that you can't put down and does not make you feel condescended upon. I would recommend this book to Christians and non-Christians. What great literature to be reading in a day and age where religion is often frowned upon when discussed openly. I think it may help others like it has helped me to begin asking questions and to want to read the Bible to find out more. I wish I had gotten this kind of motivation and craving for religion earlier, but better late than never.

Summary: It's Wake Up Time
Review: If you think it is time for you to wake up and notice the last book of the bible read this book "Left Behind". Do not just read the first book, read the whole series. These books will make you realize what is going to happen some day soon. The book contains actual excerts from the bible and it will make you want to pick up your bible and start reading it again. It is not a depressing book by any means. Alot of poeple have told me they do not want to read the book because it would be depressing. Well I am here to tell you it is not depressing at all. It is a fictual account of what happens to some people when they are left behind after God comes and takes the chosen people. Please read all the books, you will love them, I am sure of it!

Summary: captivating
Review: as i finished the book after two days of exhaustive reading i couldn't help but look at my life, analyze what i am making of it. this is a must read. sometimes we all need something to help put our life in perspective and left behind is the perfect antidote. my only complaint, and i in no way mean to denigrate the storyline, is the predictability of the next five in the series. nonetheless, the fast reading will keep you coming back and hopefully open a few doors for you, i know it did for me.

Summary: Wake Up call
Review: I've been a devout reader for many years, and this has to be the absolute most thrilling and captivating book I've ever read. From the first to last page, the author captures your heart as well as your imagination. I've been a Christian for most of my life and this is the first book that has really moved my soul. I'm ashamed to have just heard of the series, but I've done more than my fair share of advertising the book for other believers and non-believers. Here's to great reading!

Summary: Changed My Life!
Review: Wow...that's a good word to describe this life changing book. Left Behind made me think about the choices I make each day. LaHaye and Jenkins were able to translate bible prophecy into a believable, modern-day story. I was unable to put it down and found myself thirsting for more. This book caused me to dive into the Bible to be truly fulfilled. Now I know that through Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior, I won't be left behind.

Summary: An easy read
Review: A friend suggested the first book "Left Behind". I found it to be a very easy to read book. Although the charaters seem to be a little shallow, and the plot at times a little "hoaky", I still recommend the book. The first book explodes at the end and then just leaves you hanging - you'll have to buy the 2nd and then the 3rd and so on. By the time you've read the 3rd book, the characters are so familiar to you that you'll be wanting to know how things turn out. Whether you are a Christian or not, this is a great series of books that will entertain you. I didn't feel the message was strong enough to convert anyone to Christianity, but it'll be enough to get you thinking about the end-times.

Summary: Wow!
Review: What a story! Once I started it, I couldn't stop reading. The characters are great! I kept cheering them on and praying for their success. Their interpretation of the Bible is very intriguing. The way they have correlated items from the present from the scriptures of the past is spellbounding. I can't wait to start the next book in the series.

Summary: I'm tiring of the structure and plot, but sticking with it.
Review: A number of people have written reviews here recommending another Endtimes suspense thriller called THE LAST DAY, by Kleier. I didn't read it until I'd finished all the LEFT BEHIND series to date, but when I did, I understood what is missing in the LEFT BEHIND books. I've never read a book that made me feel closer to the real presence of God than LAST DAY. It exceeds the LEFT BEHIND novels on all levels: plot, characters, story line, suspense, and downright fear of God. No, it's not a witnessing tool. Far from it. LEFT BEHIND is better for that purpose. But if you want a novel to make you think, and make you better understand how Man has warped religion away from God's initial design and more toward Man's purposes, LAST DAY will stand the hair up on the back of your neck. I recommend it unconditionally over LEFT BEHIND. In just one book, it covers vastly more spiritual ground than the entire LEFT BEHIND series combined, and that's a fact.

Summary: Reminded me of L.Ron Hubbard's "science fiction"
Review: I bought this book because the premise looked interesting, and thought it might be an complex, intelligent science fiction story. Instead, I found that the characters were poorly developed, the writing was not very sophisticated (long portions of the story are told by long speeches with no logic or explanation) and the dialogue was contrived (e.g., there is a random anti-abortion passage that is plopped into the story with no context). Very disapppointing, considering this could have been a good story.

Summary: Think so?
Review: It certainly attempts to literally interpret a very difficult and symbolic text. I believe a more realistic approach must factually account for how the world is changing and where that change is likely to take us. For non-fiction, I urge all to read "The End of Privacy" by Reg Whitaker. Then take the next step and devout "Transfer-the end of the beginning" by Jerry Furland. The Left Behind series often left me behind due to the incongruous plot lines. Why do things happen the way they do? Does God have to intervene to move events or does God merely describe what will be? ... THis is not theological Rocket Science....
