Summary: Excellent addition to the series
Review: I loved this book. It was one of the best books in the latter half of the series. Some of the other books were transitional and left you feeling like you didn't get enough of the story, but this book has a lot of action, a good plot and there are a lot of changes involving the main characters. The biggest mystery in this book is who is going to make it until the end. I can't wait for the next book in the series!

Summary: Get Ready, This Will Take Your Breath Away
Review: I read this entire book in one sitting; I truly could not put it down. There are so many changes taking place with the Tribulation Force, the storyline grabs you from the beginning and keeps you transfixed. I don't want to give anything away, but get out your kleenex and steel yourself for more than one shocking loss......

Summary: Keeps getting better...
Review: For all of you that have read the previous ten books, I'm sure you already have "Armageddon", if you don't, go ahead and order it, you'll love it. Personally, I think the original idea to stop with eight books in the series may have been a good one but unlike some titles before "Armageddon" this book does not drag too badly in any place. It's great, but if you haven't read any of them I highly recommend that you start with number one!

Summary: ARMAGEDDON -- the Left Behind world is almost ended
Review: Here it comes again: what I've previously referred to as the evangelical euphoria, wherein countless and ostensibly "crazed" evangelicals storm the bookstores for their copies of a recently-released Left Behind novel by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins. In this case it's book number 11, Armageddon: The Cosmic Battle of the Ages.We all know the routine: the novel releases amongst much media fanfare, people everywhere buy the hardback and audiobooks, the book hits the Amazon.com, USA Today and New York Times fiction bestseller lists for a few months, and eventually the hoopla disintegrates only to be revived by the release of the next volume. Reviews of Armageddon will cover this approximate range: - Yes-yes-it's-the-best-ever-can't-wait-for-the-next-volume! ... - Just-okay-but-the authors are-really-really-pushing-it-with-this-twelve-book-thing ... - I-used-to-really-like-these-books-but-after-book-number-X-I-started-setting-fire-to-my-autographed-copies ... - This-is-horrible-theology,-just-horrible,-and-me-a-Christian-myself-and-all,-just-horrible ... - Not to mention the good-natured grumblings from the occasional irritable Atheist who can't believe a "religious fiction" series is stomping everything else in the fiction market. Armageddon resembles The Remnant more than any other series novel: unlike previous Left Behind installments, since Desecration plot has become more important than characters. Jenkins' aloof, severely journalistic obituary-like writing style hasn't changed. Some inappropriate humor is inserted in the most ridiculous places. And I fear I'm not the only one who can't get over a demon named "Cankerworm." Please, there should be a CBA-spearheaded petition to allow demon-naming rights to Frank Peretti alone. Clearly there are better ways to tribute the late C.S. Lewis ("The Screwtape Letters") than naming a demon "Cankerworm." Armageddon starts up right about where we left off, one year from the end of the 7-year Tribulation period. The prophesied fifth Vial Judgment has struck, and the Global Community capital city of New Babylon is plagued in solid darkness. Only believers can see, which makes for a convenient escape for amazing Chinese techno-kid Chang Wong who has been surviving in there as the info-gathering "mole" for Christians for way too long. Meanwhile the AntiChrist, who also keeps track of prophecy, is ready to amass armies for the final attack against Jews, Christ-followers, Muslims, and generally anybody else who doesn't exactly see eye-to-eye with him on issues. Readers will be weeping more of this novel than others, for author Jenkins, having kept everyone's favorite characters alive for years, is now obligated to "find [many of] them dead" all in one book. He writes about these awful circumstances with the emotional impact of a FedEx mailing form, yet for those who have followed many of these characters since their inception in late 1995, the impact will be devastating. What is also devastating is the "cliffhanger" -- which seems so notoriously contrived that after finishing the novel I set it down with a smirk rather than a gasp. But, Armageddon will do for now. Glorious Appearing should be good. But like the return of Christ ... well, I'm afraid the end of this series is truly only the beginning of what will follow.

Summary: What cliffhanger? This'll throw you clean off!
Review: Calling this latest in the Left Behind series a cliff hanger is like saying the Great Wall of China is long. Two members of the Trib Force stumble into fatal traps while Antichrist's arrogance builds to the imminent extinction of those in Jerusalem and the defenders of Petra. A book that will leave readers alternating between laughter, tension, and shouts of "No!"

Summary: As the End Approaches
Review: Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins have done it again. I have read the entire series, and "Apollyon" was my favorite in the series. I found myself enjoying this book more than I did "Apollyon." I went out and bought "Armageddon" when the book stores opened on 4-8-2003, and literally could not put it down. As the time to the Glorious Appearing draws ever closer, Hell breaks lose, as the world goes to war against itself. Caracters we have grown to know and love die for the cause of Christ. The events spiral faster and faster towards the end, and the ending wil leave one both questioning "who?" and take one's breath away. Yet LaHaye and Jenkins end the novel in such a way, that one knows, "The end is only the beginning." Spring 2004 can not come fast enough to conclude this epic religious anthology. Because only then will we know who survives to witness the Glorious Appearing.

Summary: THE BEST OF THE SERIES
Review: This book is the best of the Left Behind series. I have never read such a powerful and suspenseful book in my life. This book, even if you haven't read any others in this series, will keep you reading until you finish. I was astounded by the way the authors quickly catches up with what's gone on before without rehashing such long material. I was impressed by the character's descriptions. Some new characters in this series are added. In this book, no safe house is safe and everyone suspects everyone else of being a spy. The characters are scattered in different areas. The action in this book is the best. I started reading this book after a long evening doing taxes. I didn't stop until I finished. Get this book; you won't be disappointed.

Summary: I guess I'm hooked, but...
Review: Okay, I'll admit I'm hooked on the Left Behind Series. I've now read all eleven books, and I'll definitely read the last one when it's released. There's enough good content to peak my interest and keep me going through the boring parts. It's like being hooked on a soap opera. I'm too caught up in the story and the characters to stop caring now. However, while I'll continue to read the Left Behind series, I have to agree with those who say that "The Christ Clone Trilogy" by James BeauSeigneur and "Conquest of Paradise" by Britt Gillette are better books and much more realistic end times scenarios. As an added bonus, since "The Christ Clone Trilogy" and "Conquest of Paradise" are both complete stories, you don't have to worry about the rapture coming before you finish reading them! It seems it just might be that long before the last book comes out - when? About nine years after the first one!
