Summary: Another Left Behind Winner!!
Review: I thought this was a great book!! I have read every book in the Left Behind series. I was disappointed in a few of them but I enjoyed this one! I can't wait to read the next one!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not Same Caliber
Review: This is not the same caliber as previous volumes, but of course it is a must-read if you are reading the whole series. Several comments such as "middle of the road", "okay", "not the best" are certainly in line.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Remnant Book Review
Review: The tenth book in the Left Behind series is another masterpiece written by Jerry B. Jenkins and Tim LaHaye. Three members of the Tribulation Force risk themselves in Greece to rescue a fellow Trib Force member that has been captured. Rayford and other members of the Trib Force remain in Petra after surviving the horrid attack by Carpathia to annihilate the Jews and fellow believers. In Chicago, the safe house has been compromised and the believers have to scatter to evade destruction. Many try and travel to reach Petra and the Middle East. In New Babylon, Chang continues to provide the Tribulation Force with a mole inside the palace. He provides aliases and information to keep the Trib Force one step ahead of the Anti-Christ.
I loved this book from the moment I opened the front cover. This is another amazing literary exertion from the masterminds behind the Left Behind series. As each book nears the end of time, the stories get deeper, the suspense becomes more unbearable and the cliffhangers wretch your mind. Every time I read one of the books in the series, I always find myself changing my actions in everyday life because I realized I'll never know when my time will come or the world will end.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Remnant
Review: The Remnan by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins was and excellent book. It is definetly something that you would not want to put down. If you are into the Left Behind seires then you are sure to love this one. You will go through some borging parts but once you get passed all of those the book is really good. Other than that I don't know why you might not like the book. I found it to be very good.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Committed to the end . . .
Review: I think the best thing that most people can say is that it's better than "Desecration". I guess I would say to people looking to get into the series to stick to the first 6 books. In "Remnant", I at least had the feeling that time was progressing and that the characters seemed ... in character. Also, there were some moments where I was just chilled by the results of the Antichrist's rule (and if the evening news can be chilling but the Antichrist isn't, look to poor writing!) Anyway, I'm saying that "Remnant" is worth reading if "Desecration" and "The Mark" made you decide to quit.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If you enjoyed Left Behind . . .
Review: If you enjoy Left Behind, I would strongly second what so many other reveiwers have already said and suggest The
Christ Clone novels and We All Fall Down by Brian Caldwell. Both are similar to Left Behind but vastly different in aproach. I read them while waiting for the eleventh Left Behind and, while I love that series, found them to be just as good, and possibly better.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Two stories in one novel
Review: After reading the previous nine installments of this series, I was really torn on how to review this one. By giving it only two stars I may invoke a negative reaction, however, I couldn't shake the feeling that the first 100 plus pages was a very drawn out and boring filler material until the book picks up in the second half.

After the cliffhanger in 9, I expected to delve right into action that wouldn't stop with only a few years left of the tribulation. Sadly, only the first few pages deal with the cliffhanger in Petra as we left the Antichrist Carpathia making a strike against those believers under God's protection.

Unfortunately, after this is quickly resolved the reader embarks on a very lengthy and unexciting rescue attempt of a character George who is being held by the GC. Chloe, Mac and one other Trib force member decide to rescue him and while everything is under God's plan, it just seemed to me that there was so much fake dialogue and convenient holes in the rescue attempt I often fought the urge to skip ahead. It was this tangent made me feel that this was a separate novel altogether.

With that said, fortunately, the story does pick up, though time advances quite a bit. The sides are pretty much drawn up at this point, those believers who evangelize for God, and those that are loyal supporters of the Antichrist. While Carpathia has a smaller role in this book, his madness and evils become more apparent. He can't grasp that the 'curses' that are opened up on the earth are the judgments of God and tries to convince the populace that these things will pass, that his scientists are working on cures. Water is in short supply, and after another year into the tribulation so-called GC loyalists are starting to have second thoughts about Carpathia. There is even rumor that certain regions wish to defect as the world plunges into further chaos.

The Tribulation force on the other hand receive some assurances from the Lord. They seem to be protected from certain earthly ailments and judgments, and are provided for in miraculous ways. There are more sightings of angels and miracles, however, God is indeed allowing the balancing of the scales. Carpathia, not to be outdone sends out his own 'cultists' who perform 'miracles' in his name, however, with a hidden agenda...a quick slaying of those that have yet to decide.

Towards the tail end of the novel there are some interesting and frightful descriptions of events that are unfolding, and I personally think this is the meat and potatoes of this novel, not the filler material upfront.

Remnant ends with the Lord plunging the world into darkness and it's just about 6 years into the tribulation.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: THE REMNANT
Review: The Remnant by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins is a book with great description. It has lots of suspense and a satisfying amount f action. It's a book that once you start reading you won't be able to put it down. It's the story of how the world is flung towards the end of the world and how the remnant of the world's population manages to survive plagues, bombs, and other hazards. It's such a great book I can't wait until the next one comes out.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Remnant
Review: I think that this book was pretty good. There was just one thing that I found, that I did not like. I think the book went to fast, because at the beginning of the book there was 2 years until the Tribulation ended, and at the end of the book there was only 1 year. I think that it would have been better to only go through mabey a six month time period. Other than that, I think this book is awesome.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: all of the left behind series
