Rating: Summary: Not a perfect series but better than some give it credit for Review: Left Behind seems to be more of an introduction to the subject of the End Times, a series that is reaching out to all people of different ages. It's not particularly well written, but it is clear and straightforward. The characters are not particularly realistic or interesting, but these are not character studies, these are novels that are trying to give people an overview of this concept, and they do that quite well...
Rating: Summary: Entire Series is Schlock Writing at Best Review: Interesting trend in the reviews - either 1 star (the literate folk) or 5 stars (the Springer crowd). People, the entire series is garbage pulp fiction meant to feed off of fear and perpetuate one religion's mythos. Why would you give these people your money? Splashy covers don't make a good book. Do yourself a favor, stop reading and supporting these sad excuses for "literature."
Rating: Summary: bruce b Review: I thought will this series ever end? I want closure, the story is good but I like Cary Bybee's Last Gentile series much better if you haven't read it you should. This book keeps you interested but only 3 stars
Rating: Summary: Armageddon: The Cosmic Battle of the Ages Review: I loved the first five books of the series. Then it started to drag. I kept up with it though, because I knew how it was going to end.Armageddon, was the best book so far. I couldn't put it down. It is almost as if the first five books and this one were written by a one author, and books 6-10 were written by a different one. At any rate, I am glad I didn't give up!
Rating: Summary: Top notch Review: The left behind series has everything you could ever want in a novel. A great plot, real identifiable characters, and plenty of drama and action. This book is no different from the others and has plenty of emotion twist and turns to go around. For those who haven't yet read any of the books, do not feel like you cannot read this one or any of the others. The authors always introduce the characters by giving a quick bio before the book begins and the always recap the ending of the last book. In fact I just started with the third book in the series and took off from there. I did go back and read the first two and have since read everybook in the series. Although some parts of Armageddon are rather lengthy, most of the book reads quickly. The suspense leading into the last book is top notch.
Rating: Summary: Armageddon Review: I thank Mr. LaHaye and Mr. Jenkins for allowing God to use them in this series. Since it is fiction and we must realize that, it makes for some awesome reading, but it also gets the old brain to thinking. I don't want to be LEFT BEHIND! I pray that all who reads this review and read the Left Behind series, make Jesus their King. A wonderful series of books!
Rating: Summary: The End Is Near Review: I read this book in a day...it was awesome! I think that Dr LeHaye and Mr Jenkins have done an excellent job relating the "End of the Ages" to us. While I may differ with some of the theology, I think it's an excellent account of St. John's Revelation of Jesus Christ. This not only tells the story but makes you really soul search yourself to make sure that you are where you need to be. Thank the Lord, I am! I am anxiously awaiting the final book, "The Glorious Appearing" of Jesus Christ.
Rating: Summary: Another good read Review: I really like the series. I enjoy the writting and the story. The action in this one of the series is pretty fast passed although I do think the authors are extending the series more than I would prefer. Still, when they do finally complete the series I am going to start at one and read them all over again. One thing that I think the series does exceptionally well is to describe the ideal for the non-believer. One problem with that may be so few of us believers approximate the ideals in the series that non-believers will not recognize the ideals as relating to Christians they have known. With that caution I would especially recommend this series to the non-believer, for a great number of reasons. All in all I would recomend this book to anyone who finds the topic of interest.
Rating: Summary: is this book finally in the end times? Review: When I first started reading this series, I could not stop. I was literally addicted.. I went from one book to the next loving every moment. I just loved the feasible storyline and characters Jenkins and Lahaye created to go along with Revelations. From Book one to eight were wonderful! Then.. Desecration came out.. it was still fairly good.. but it was definitely a disappoitment compared to the previous books.. So. i anxiously awaited book #10. the remnant figuring it would be back up to par. Wrong! IT was horrible. the whole book was nearly pointless! but yet again since i had loved the series in the past I went right on hoping that Armageddon would be better. Yet again I am deprived. I think that Jenkins and Lahaye just lost hold of the masterpiece that they started because they ran out of ideas and imagination.
Rating: Summary: HOPE THE NEXT BOOK IS BETTER! Review: I LOVE THE "LEFT BEHIND SERIES", BUT THIS BOOK WAS NOT ONE OF THE BEST. I BOUGHT IT WITH HIGH EXPECTATION, BUT WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED. I CONTINUED TO READ IT BECAUSE I WILL GET THE NEXT BOOK AND WANT TO KEEP UP WITH THE STORYLINE, BUT IT"S A BIT BORING, AND VERY PREDICTABLE. BETTER TO BORROW IT, THAN BUY IT!
