Summary: disappointing
Review: I've been listening to these books on CD at work and I've been waiting for the real action. And so far this is the biggest disappointment. This book is read on 10 CD's. I am almost throught the 8th CD and I still haven't reached the cosmic battle. How can you call the book Armegeddon and spend more then 80% on stupid Chloe and filling up space? And I can tell that they wanted to make sure the book didn't seem sexist or racist. Bubut why do the some of women in the story seem annoying like Chloe and Leah? I've read other books with strong women heroines and they just seem strong and able to take care of theirselves. Not annoying and snappy. The writing is just terrible. Does there have to be a history given for every character introduced into the story? And it's a shame that I've read other reviews that say this is the best, most exciting book in the series. If this represents the best of the series the whole series barely deserves 1 star.

Summary: A Book Recommendation for "Left Behind" Readers
Review: As a minister, I am always enthusiastic when I recommend (from the pulpit or anywhere else) the wonderful series of "Left Behind" books, which of course focus on the last book of the Bible, Revelation as its text. For all of us who appreciate these books, I recommend an excellent book about the first book of the Old Testament.
Dennis Shulman's "Genius of Genesis" is a reverent and beautifully-written description of the glory of the Book of Genesis; and was an excellent text for our church's spring book discussion circle.
If you want to truly understand the Bible, from its last words to its first, read the "Left Behind" books and "The Genius of Genesis."

Summary: OK, Listen, I won't steer you wrong
Review: Most who like the Left Behind series will like this. That's not a good gauge of this book. I like the Left Behind series too, but let's face it... it's not the VERY BEST WRITING YOU'VE EVER READ. It's ok. It pleases us Christians. We love seeing sales of Christian fiction hit the New York Times lists where it must really steam those editors there. But I would tell you straight if I didn't like it. Here's an example... Books 2 through 10 were s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g this series FAR too much. Admit it! This would be better as 3 or 4 books! And some books really felt like filler books. We have to admit that if we are going to be listened to as reviewers of books within this series. Having said that... This was BY FAR the best book. Best written and most compelling. Many folks will downgrade these books because they are post-trib, post-mill non-rapture theology people. Yet, even if they read this book (they probably won't), they would say the story is the best-written to date and it is gripping... and let me tell you. So far, books 1 through 10 had cliffhanging endings that were not REALLY all that grabbing.... but this one... OH WOW I was stunned in the last few pages. Listen, THIS BOOK'S ENDING (and an incredible scene in the middle with a guillotine) WILL KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF!!! (Even Dr. Sock's sock for you Supergeddon fans! (Of which I'm also one.))

Summary: FICTION, pure and simple
Review: It disturbs me that many people seem to take these books literally, which is why I gave it only 2 stars . . . a good, thrilling, FICTIONAL representation of revelation, yet it is in FACT, fiction, people. Please stop saying things like the books make you feel happy you're "SAVED". People who "BELIEVE" in these book also probably believe WMD's will be found . . .

Summary: Romanian Anti-Christ?
Review: i haven't read the series yet and probably won't given that i now know that the anti-christ happens to be romanian. i too am romanian, born in the carpathian mountains and my middle name is nicolae. i'm sure the authors didn't mean that the actual anti-christ, when he does make himself known will be from romania, but just want all the readers out there to know that there are some good nicolaes born in the carpathian mountains in romania. that's all i have to say about that. enjoy reading the books though. I do have to add, though, that I have browsed through the pages and actually found this series to be very plain and simple. For all those who like to use their brains, don't read these...however, if you want to vegitate, this is the perfect series for you.

Summary: Taking Christians money or just had to fill a series quota?
Review: Being a Christian and completely fascinated by the end times. This series (Left Behind) started off with power, excitement, and what seemed like a inspired desire to tell this magnificent story. Unfortunately, as the series progressed it seemed the authors slowed the story considerably with each book. This latest book in the series is a poor excuse for an installment. It seems like the authors are doing everything they can to ensure they produce 12 books. I can't tell whether it's because they want to milk the Christian community for another $29.95 or if they are against a commitment to the publisher. Armageddon (Left Behind #11) has put me in the position that I can no longer recommend this book series to the saved or unsaved of this world. I understand that the authors may be trying to "thin" the story out to reach as many as possible but seeing their work as a witness to their faith...I certainly wouldn't be converted. If you wish to read a great series on the End Times please purchase "Christ Clone Trilogy".

Summary: Left behind wanting more
Review: I'm still a fan of the series, but for those readers like me who are left wanting more, I highly recommend Steve Alten's latest thriller, RESURRECTION, part of his DOMAIN series. RESURRECTION kept me turning pages like the first books in the Left Behind series did!

Summary: That will be enough guys....
Review: Mr. Jenkins and Mr. Lahaye, please stop pumping out this crap. This is like a bad Michael Crichton/Clive Cussler series for southern fundie conservatives. You're making Americanized christianity into an even bigger joke than it already is. I have a Newsflash for you Left Behind fans: People of all cultures all over the world have been predicting the end of the world since the beginning, and you know what? It hasn't happened yet, nor will it happen for a long time, and it definitely isn't going to happen like this. The fate of the human race doesn't rest on Judeo-Christian beliefs anymore than it does on New Age ones. Give it up already.

Summary: Armageddon
Review: Unfortunately, lots of people look on this series as pure fiction
with no basis in fact..Sad to say, I'm afraid many aare going to be sadly mistaken..I was enthralled from beginning to end. Yes, I
was disappointed when some of the main characters were killed, but, that made it more life-like. LaHaye and Jenkins are master weavers of the written word. I cannot wait for the "glorious appearing" This is the middle of February, though, and my wait won't be long. I loved the whole series and anyone can just use
them and go back in scripture to research for themselves.
