Summary: Better than last time, AGAIN.
Review: I will have to admit, it is a little upsetting seeing these people describe the Left Behind series as "Dragged out", "Padded", and "repetative". However, I have realized, that, in fact, they are. It's sad. I agree that this series should have been done in say 6 or even 9 books instead of 12.

However, this is the best novel in the series I have read since about the 6th book. This book has action, suspense, and people die for it. In this book you witness much more first hand how people are willing to die for God, and you also see the reality some people who already took the mark who realize they made the wrong choice and there is nothing they can do about it. And the ending is something you won't expect.

This book gave me a little bit of renewed faith for the final book. However, after 12 books, I'm glad that it's over.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Book!!!
Review: I can't believe people are gripping about this book and this series. I love the series! This is one of the best spiritual fiction books out there and lot's of people are getting saved from it. I'm at a place right now were people have nothing else to do but read books and a lot of them are reading the Left Behind series. I would rather they read those than the Harry Potter novels.
Anywho, Armageddon kept me off the seat! Lots of action as the Trib Force members try to rendezvous at their new camp site. I can't wait till the next book when Christ comes back and battles off Carpathia. That man needs to go DOWN!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Looking Forward.
Review: I have enjoyed this last book, in the series as well as the first one. I had always wondered about the Last Days. These books have helped me a lot. It is very sound in letting us know as the Bible teaches us that a lot of people will lose their lives in the last days. This book is full of suprises. I did not want to see Richard Steel taken from the fight here on earth. But, no one person can not, not be replaced. Even Moses did not make it to the Promised Land.
I think that these writers are doing a great job. They keep it interesting and the readers undivided attention. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. I pray that they continue on and take us into the thousand year reign of Christ, and also give us their take on heaven itself.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to have my say. Keep up the good work. I have read almost every book by these two great men of God. I am looking forward to the next issue.
Thank you....

Summary: What is the problem?
Review: This book was typical Left Behind. Fairly light reading with enough suspense woven in to keep me interested.
I know these authors have recieved a lot of criticism from readers who think the series has gone on long enough, or who think the books themselves are too simplistic. But I think maybe they are supposed to be this way.
The general public does not read at a college level, and the way these books are written make them all the more accessible for everyone. If the plotlines and characters were more complex, and the theology not comprehensible for anyone without background in theology, or if these authors had come up with just one large book, I believe this would have been a turn off for those already Christian, and those who aren't but are curious.
I think these authors have done a very good job with this series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Packed with excitement!
Review: I am an avid follower of the left behind series, I can say that this book is one of the best book i ever read. A must read, well, you have to start with book one. I can't wait for the next book ("Glorious Appearing").

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The next to last battle!
Review: Wow....... I have never seen so many bad reviews for any of the "Left Behind" books. But a good many people have taken the authors to task for this book.

And I almost understand why they have. Unlike all 10 of the previous books, "Armageddon" did not capture me from the very beginning. There were many times during the course of reading the first half of the book that I wanted nothing more than for it to end.

However, about halfway through the book my attention was finally captured and I was hooked for the remainder of the book.

"Armageddon" begins where "The Remnant" left off, with New Babylon in total darkness. As Nicolae Carpathia prepares to move the upper levels of his one-world government out of New Babylon, the main Tribulation Force safe house in San Diego is in danger of being discovered, forcing the occupants to quickly flee to Petra and the safety the Lord provides there. Unfortunately, the relocation comes at the cost of Tribulation Force lives.

As the battle of the ages begins, more Tribulation Force members will lose their lives, and another will be hanging to his life, literally. The final couple of days before Christ's Glorious Appearing will be radically altered for those who are left behind.

And for those of you who are ready for the next (12th) book to be the last one in the series, I've got bad news for you. Several Christian news sources are reporting that the authors have decided to add a 13th book to the series, supposedly covering the final war between good and evil that will take place at the end of Christ's 1000-year reign on earth.

I'll be looking forward to it.

Summary: More Padding Than A Sealy Posturepedic
Review: From the first book to the latest, it's evident that the authors had one thing in mind: Money. The entire series could have been condensed into three (at the most) books. LOTS of padding. To demonstrate; While reading a chapter, I stopped halfway through and started reading the next chapter. Once I finished it, I went back and completed the previous chapter. The result? I DIDN'T MISS ANYTHING RELEVANT TO THE STORY!

The story is good, but the writing is horrendous.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Disappointing
Review: I was thoroughly disappointed with this book. What I thought was going to be the final apocolyptic battle between good and evil was never contained in this book. It's just more of the same: the Trib Force evades the GC and changes hiding places. They kill off three of the main characters and finish it right before the battle reaches its climax. This was done so that people have to buy the next (and final, thank God) installment of the series. Left Behind has gotten rather old and repetitive and when they pulled this stunt, it just plain ticked me off.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: more of the same.
Review: I like the story, but I'm tried of the time it takes to tell it. I wish the writers would rewrite the story in a thousand page novel. I hope the next book is better.
If anyone out there likes a great 'good against evil' story, I have the book for you. THE FIST OF GOD by A.T. Nicholas. It is incredable and well thought out. I was deeply moved by the character James Rood. I loved it. The story and the images stay with with you long after the read.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Usual Hard to Put Down Read
Review: This is the next-to-last volume of the story of the Tribulation Force, a group of holdouts from the ne world government headed up by Nicole Carpathia, a.k.a. the antichrist. Having followed them through the previous twelve books, we find them drawn inevitably to the Middle East, along with all the armies of the world. The ultimate apocalyptic battle of the ages is shaping up. The setting is the last year of the Great Tribulation, i.e. before the end of the world as we know it and the return of Christ for a thousand year reign. Some of the characters we know and like the best are in mortal danger, and the authors are not afraid to kill some of them off as various forces converge on them. No one is safe any longer, not family, friends or great leaders.

This is the usual hard to put down work of the past ten volumes. It didn't lose the inertia of the first ten. If you liked the first ten, you won't be disappointed. You'll like this one just as much.
