Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

In the versions of the adult Left Behind series, those "left behind" when the true believers disappear in the Rapture include four teenagers who then find Christ. Jenkins and LaHaye know how to maintain suspense. They deftly cross-cut scenes and roll the action at a Gary Paulsen-like pace. While readers don't have to share the characters' faith to enjoy these page-turners, the appeal is definitely not universal. The "stadium" in Terror is Teddy Kollek Stadium in Jerusalem, overflowing with "witnesses" eager to hear an influential rabbi extol Jesus and "the triune God." An Arab helps the good guys, not because she's found Christ but because she wants vengeance against the bad guys (these include Nicolae Carpathia, potentate of the Global Community, and Peter the Second, head of the Enigma Babylon One World Faith. By Skies the story line has reached Revelation 8:12, and the sun, moon and stars lose one-third of their light. Will the kids holed up in a remote schoolhouse be able to power their generator? And how many people will they save? With series sales topping 7.7 million copies, it doesn't take series prophets Eli and Moishe to predict a ready audience for these new titles. Ages 10-14. (Oct.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Left Behind #18- Great Book, January 17, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Darkening Skies: Judgment of Ice (Left Behind: The Kids) (Mass Market Paperback)

The book Left Behind #18- "Darkening Skies" is a great book. It's about four kids who were originally Left Behind of the rapture of god's people. This is book number eighteen out of thirty-six. The 17th book was a thriller as they were on their trip to Israel. The 17th ends in suspense as nobody can find Tyson Ben-Judah. The 18th book tells about Judd in Israel and where Melissa can be found. In Israel, Judd finds a new friend, Samuel. Judd is betrayed by Samuel and runs into the Global Community. Will he escape the G.C., why did Samuel betray Judd, and two more of the Young Trib Force's friends die. Who? Find out by reading "Darkening Skies," the 18th Left Behind book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Series for adults now rewritten for teens, December 25, 2004

By 

Kelli (Somewhere out west) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Darkening Skies: Judgment of Ice (Left Behind: The Kids) (Mass Market Paperback)

I have always enjoyed the adult series of Left Behind books. The kids books are just as good. The kids interact with the characters from the adult series, experience the same events, etc. However, since the main characters are teens, these books can appeal to younger readers. So far, the stories haven't had the ups and downs that the adult series has had. The adult series has books that are a lot more boring than others. The kids series seems to be good in every book. These are not for really young kids, but would be appropriate for young teens. I enjoy them and I am an adult.

5.0 out of 5 stars I JUST CAN'T STOP READING!, March 26, 2002

By 

Ken Hurlbert (Bakersfield, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Darkening Skies: Judgment of Ice (Left Behind: The Kids) (Mass Market Paperback)

I'm actually reading book #11, second time around, and just ordered 19, 20, 21, & 22. By the time I get 19 & 20 I'll be finished with 18 again. Incidentally, I also just ordered the adult book #10 having read all the predecessors. I just can't stop reading these books once I start. Whoever said the "kids" books were up to age 12 forgot that they speak truth to all ages. I'm 62 years old with graduate degrees and they sure do hit my hot button. I hope they just keep coming! I love them.
