Note: This is a general synopsis. Each listing is described below.
"I don't have a problem with these books, i don't know if the Book of Revelatuion will be worked out as literaly as these stories picture it. They require as a necessity of their telling a certain amount of interprition, for example, who the "Beast" will be, where he will arise and so on. I am a Christian and believe that the Book of Revelution is in the Bible for a reason, Like I said, i'm just not sure of some of the literalness here. they could very well be right, but I I'll wait and see.
The real reason I give only 2 stars here is for poor story telling. I just don't think the books are quite that good. here we follow the "left behind" who have turned to Christ after the Rapture as they watch the tribulation being set up.
The characters continue their lives and they lose their first member as WWIII starts."
"Chaos rules the world as panic and grief stricken survivors continue to search for their lost loved-ones. Suicide rates are sky-rocketing, businesses and homes are being looted, and martial law is in effect. A desperate world looks to the leadership and guidance of UN President Nicolae Carpathia, the only person offering any answers, hope, and plans to restore peace and order."
"I picked up the book immediately after Left Behind...i got 226 pages into it and just realized I really just don't care anymore. The characters are so flimsy and non-developed that I just was not interested at all in what happened to them...whether certain people got together, whether they were persuaded by Nicolai, whether they lived or died...I'm just giving up on the book. My husband finished it, he can sum it up for me if I get curious...
I don't know, it just didn't do it for me. I like to see authors perspectives on ends-of-times, regardless of what they are (from the bizarre to the religious) but I just got bored with this book...and then realized there were MANY more to go through to get any ending....just wasn't worth it to me...
oh well...i borrowed the book, if I ever want to, I can just ask my friend, but who knows...there's many many many more books on my to-read list that I'd rather get through.."
"I read the first of the Left Behind novels a little over a year ago and never really felt any compelling need or desire to continue reading the series. But based on the recommendation of several friends, I picked up the second novel in the series and gave it a try.
And while I liked Tribulation Force and it was a fairly quick read, I can't say that I was overly impressed by it.
Please don't misunderstand me--the authors have done a great job of researching the end times as predicted in Revelations and creating a world in which those events are coming to pass. If they stuck to that alone, my rating for this story would be a lot higher than it is. It's just that they don't write characters very well. None of the main protagonists feels very three-dimensional and that causes me to lose interest in them from time to time. Add to it that they pause every four pages to reflect on the events that have taken place up until now and it can get tedious quickly.
I will, however, give the authors one thing--they know how to end a book. Tribulation Force ends on a cliffhanger and it's enough of one that I'm curious to pick up book three and see how the events continue to play out."
