    I loveed this book. It was amazing to read about people becoming christian during the horrible times they were going through. They come to truly love Christ and their transformation is absolutely wonderful.

    Imagine that suddenly millions of seemingly random people vanish into thin air. Cars are left without drivers, airplanes without pilots, parents without children. Those left behind are people that must not only deal with the wreckage, but they must also try to come to terms with the actual disappearances of friends and loved ones. What happened? Was it aliens, a new form of nuclear technology, the end of the world, or a prophecy of The Bible that is being fulfilled? In this first book of the Left Behind series, LaHaye and Jenkins draw readers into a captivating story of the human condition.

    I've decided this series is the VC Andrews of Christian fiction - trashy, trashy, trashy. I'm not sure why I picked it up - maybe all that 2012 crap I've been devouring. I just know I'm now going to have to read to the terrible end of this series. The book was is preachy and hilarious. My favorite part was that the chosen peeps were taken to heaven without any clothes - in fact, even their contact lenses were left behind. (Am I juvenile to find that funny?) I was also impressed that fetuses were taken - but not the pregnant women. Can't wait to read what happens next!

    I read about 2/3 of this on a flight between Charlotte and Bradley. My personal setting made this far more enjoyable (though it was very enjoyable, anyway). It's a tad on the preachy-side, but not nearly as much so as you would expect given the content. It's a bit predictable, but then again, it isn't exactly high-literature. This is just good, fun light reading.

    So I finally read it. I avoided it for more than a decade, but I finally did it. I should have kept avoiding it.I really don't have any interesting in criticizing the theology here. I don't agree with it, but eschatology is a tricky field, and I'm probably way off on a lot of my ideas too. If you agree with this line of thinking, I really don't have a problem with that. If you agree more with me, then great. As long as you believe in Jesus and that He is going to return, then we can have a friendly debate about the rest of End Time prophesy and keep worshiping.But the writing here is so bad that I must speak. There are only two characters in this book who are remotely different than any of the others. The first is Nicolae Carpathea, who is the most boring man ever. His "great speech" to the UN consisted of him droning on about the entire history of the organization and then him reciting the name of every country represented. Wha-?The other is Hattie, and she only stands out because she is the most inconsistent character ever created. She's just all over the place!The other characters are as dull as their names.A fifth of the population disappears (a number that is WAY high), and a few days later no one seems to remember. Huh? That seems to me to be an important thing going on there. I would expect a little more coverage of that and less of the guy who recites the names of countries for a living.I think the theology here is wrong, but supportable, but the writing is offensively bad. I gave it two stars instead of one because at least it was a quick read and only tortured me a few hours.

    This is the first of a great christian book series that depcits life after the rapture. The characters are left behind after their loved ones are taken during the rapture. The series talks about their journey to Christianity during the time before the return of Christ. Great book and series. I enjoyed reading all of the books.

    This book is best described as Christian pulp fiction. On the one hand is the personal story of Rayford’s conversion, overwrought and tedious, and his attempts to convert his daughter—this minute—since she could die at any moment in these dangerous times. On the other hand, there is the thriller angle as Buck Williams follows the dead bodies and prophecies to the Antichrist’s doorstep. For people who share the author’s beliefs, this story is no doubt compelling. For me, it certainly had some interesting moments but it was way too drawn out.

    I didn't expect to like this really. Not given what I'd heard of its Christian Fundamentalist plot and themes. However, I know this is enormously popular, a huge bestseller, and I do sometimes like to read such books, to better understand their appeal. And if they're really bad... Well, I found the Twilight Saga rather fun as a trainwreck and read the whole thing. This novel struck me as too stupid to bother with within a dozen pages though. This novel, part of a series, has as its basis the doctrine held by some Christian sects about "the Rapture." The idea is that in the Last Days of Earth when Jesus returns those who are "saved" will be pulled out and spared the Tribulations. So in this novel such people are suddenly whisked away and those left have to deal with the aftermath.I admit it, I soon did feel I wouldn't get through this, that it was too much like having pamphlet-wielding missionaries crowding me in a stuck elevator. But that aspect isn't what stopped me reading. Or the subpar writing evident from the first. No, a passage on Page 8 is what got to me. We're supposed to believe that a man invents "a synthetic fertilizer that caused the desert sands of Israel to bloom... making Israel the richest nation on Earth" with "zero unemployment" and they are then able to buy peace from their enemies. This is so breathtakingly spectacularly stupid on an a scientific, agricultural, economic and political level, in comparison the Rapture is easy to believe in, and right there I lost interest in anything the authors wanted to put before me.

    Ironically, I am writing this review on June 6, 2006 (06/06/06) which some people claim will be the day of the apocalypse. If I believed the message of this book I would think only practising Christians would be called to heaven and the rest of us will be left to suffer on earth. Although I was raised in the Christian church, I was never confirmed and I do not attend church regularly. I would say I believe in a supreme being but I don't think one has to attend church or belong to an organized religion to be a good person. I certainly don't think that all those other people in the world who are religious but not Christian are doomed. Christianity has been responsible for a lot of death and destruction such as the Crusades and the struggles in Northern Ireland between the Protestants and the Catholics. So I don't think it can claim a moral high ground as this book leads the reader to believe. Having said all that, it is probably not surprising that I gave this book such a low rating. However, that is not the only problem I had with it. I thought the book was repetitious for those parts of it that dealt with seeking salvation. On the other hand, there really was very little attention paid to the fall-out of having millions of people disappear. I find it hard to believe that within days of such a cataclysmic event, air travel and international meetings would continue as usual. I was also irritated by the lack of discussion of events outside of the great U. S. of A.

     From a theological perspective, this book is awful. As you can expect, it accepts as its starting point the notion of a pre-tribulational rapture (a teaching that goes only back as far as the late 17th or 18th century), in which God tries to get non-believers to believe by taking away the people who could help them understand what he's been trying to tell them.If you ignore this nonsense, the story itself is mildly entertaining. It's better than playing stupid games that won't let you win unless you pay, at least.

    I was going to say this book wasn't gripping, and is truly one of the least interesting of the entire series, but clearly it hooked me enough to read fifteen more books in the series. Straight-forward, rarely artistic, purely for the sake of narrative, which is purely for the sake of interpreting Biblical scripture - supposedly. Interesting juxtopisation of Christian beliefs and wartime strategy, violence and inhumanity. Surprisingly gory in places. Individual characters found almost no significant voices themselves in this, the first book, but the seeds are planted to see the core family - The Steeles, Ray and Chloe, and Buck Williams - eventually have real struggles and conflicts. It's basically almost entirely setup, a promise of more interesting material to come, which was true enough.

    didn't even want to finish the book, got about halfway through...story drags on, as a way to display religious ideals, i believe in god, but am not enthralled by religion, and am just tired of the messages in the book, so i will not be finishing it, nor the series, this may be a better series for people who steadfastly believe in revelations and the end of times....

    Man, this thing took FOREVER! I don't know how many books there are in the series, but I know that I won't be reading them all (and judging from how much space they take up on the shelf at the library, there is a TON). The whole premise of this series is what would happen if the rapture occurred and you were one of the millions (probably billions) left behind. Rayford Steele is piloting an aircraft when a stewardess he'd been lusting after rushes into the cockpit tells him that they're suddenly missing over 100 people. At first he thinks it's a joke but he soon realizes that all their clothes have been left behind as well. One of the passengers on the plane is an award winning, international journalist named Buck. He sets about recording everything because he knows this is the biggest story of his career, hell of his lifetime! Buck, the stewardess, the pilot, and his daughter start finding their paths crossing as they try to figure out what on earth has happened to all their loved ones and how they are going to survive what comes next. Not as bad as I thought it would be, but not great either.

    Left Behind is a series that has passed me by somehow. With no preconception I dived in and found a refreshing take on the End of Days. From the outset the book creates a solid air of mystery, which is wrapped up in this first book, whilst creating a plan for the epic series ahead. The central characters aren't as fleshed out as they could be, the narrative style seems aimed at young adults, rather than the more mature sci-fi readers. In fact, at several times I felt preached to, as if the writers were trying to sell Christianity to me. That aside, the plot is strong and Left Behind definitely succeeds as a fresh, if religion-heavy, approach to the subject matter. Worth reading and will probably hook you to read further entries.

    I started this series because my wife wanted me to read them, and since I like sharing things in common with her, I read them. Wasn't as bad as I feared, but the authors have a lot of annoying habits to create filler, such as constantly having the characters relate again and again their personal stories. Many of the characters are goody-goodies who are basically undistinguishable from each other. The Biblical research throughout is fairly shoddy, which surprised me. He took many things out of context and neglected to answer any of the objections people genuinely have about Christianity (for example, the books insist Jesus fulfills all of the Messianic prophecies, when he does not, such as being named "Immanuel," which is the prophecied name).

    Wow....this book will grab your attention right from the jump. This has the great balance between fiction and non-fiction with someone seeking spiritual answers about the end of times. Great story line, with characters that keep you wanting to turn the page. In reading this, you must have an open mind and basic understanding of biblical teachings.

    This book was a terrible read. I have enjoyed Tim LaHaye's non fiction works, so I feel I gave these books a fair go, but the characters seemed quite one dimensional to me, the plot pondering and long and the whole thing based on some very bad theology.I do not entirely understand the fixation many American Christians have with the secret rapture. It seems that the doctrine was invented in the 19th century among a group known as the Irvingites, who disintegrated following the failure of their prophecies to come to pass, but one of whose leaders had influence in another group that then proceeded to produce the Darby study bible that became very widely used in the US. Because of the ubiquity of this Bible, the notes in it became widely assimilated as a dsitinctive American orthodoxy, and one of these doctrines was that of the secret rapture, that this book uses as its theme.That being the case, no one should read the book with any idea that its events would actually unfold as described. Read it as a work of fiction.But with this in mind, I read the book as a work of fiction and still I hated it. Perhaps I am too close to the errant orthodoxy that informs the storyline, because it then held no surprises for me - and the quality of writing did not save it.My best recommendation is to non American readers - read this to get into the mind set of one popular strand of American Christianity.

    The book's star rating is skewed: for a Christian fiction, it's actually quite good (go read some of the later books in this series, or Christian fiction books by other authors if you're in doubt - try Ted Dekker's Adam!). For a science fiction, it's about average.Don't get me wrong, as the series progresses, the writing/characters/story gets progressively worse (I stopped at book 7 since after that it was just junky writing and bad editing). But this book was actually quite enlightening in its explanation of an entire religious group's beliefs, and, read as sci-fi, is as believable an apocalypse as any...

    I actually read this book for my College Success Skills class, and there were some things I didn't like. The characters seem to change quicker than what would be natural, which I didn't like. However, the concept of the book was very deep, especially because I was annotating for dystopia the entire time. It definitely made me think, and I already have two people lined up to read this book after I turn my paper in.

    I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to settle on a star rating for this book; anything from 2 to 5 seems defensible.Is it great writing? No, it is not. It ranges from adequate to plodding, with its flaws being perhaps most visible when it tries to portray somebody as being particularly eloquent.But the ideas are the important thing here. This is meant as a dramatization of the Rapture and its immediate aftermath, showing what it might look like were it to happen today. While I don't happen to share any of the authors' premises, it does a good job of setting out how such a scenario might broadly play out, even if it's less successful with the details. (We could spend hours nitpicking the details.) And its earnestness serves it surprisingly well, making it easier to overlook -- or at least forgive -- the literary flaws. It's fairly engaging, especially if you accept the premises. I can see why the series has been wildly successful.

    First of an as-yet uncompleted series of novels playing out the Bible's Book of Revelations. This first is gripping. I picked it off a library shelf long before I had heard of the series and was riveted. The back cover blurb was short and to the point:In one cataclysmic moment, millions around the globe disappear.Vehicles, suddenly unmanned, careen out of control. People are terror sticken as loved ones vanish before their eyes.In the midst of global chaos, airline captain Rayford Steele must search for his family, for answers, for truth. As devastating as the disappearances have been, the darkest days may lie ahead.

    As far as I know, this series might well be the worst novels ever written. The Christian blogger Slacktivist has done a better job deconstructing them than I ever could. I got as far as the third in the series this time. They're just appalling not just in a theological or ethical way, but they also totally fail as airport pulp thrillers because they're supernaturally boring. In fact, the only way I could get as far as I did was to go back to 'Good Omens' (Gaiman/Pratchett) and imagine Aziraphale and Crowley as my shoulder angel and demon giving it the MST3K treatment with me. Even then, they got too drunk to be coherent and I fell asleep. I keep this series here out of pure train-wreck syndrome.Also, all the male characters have gay-porn-star names, and normally, I'd like that, but they managed to make even THAT unappealing to me, which ain't easy.
