3.0 out of 5 stars
Decent plot, poor writing,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Left Behind Collection I boxed set: Vol. 1-4 (Vols 1-4) (Paperback)
Another reviewer wrote that these books were written for a 4th grade reading level, and I would have to agree with that. Then again most local newspapers are written for the same reading level. I've found left behind series enjoyable, but I don't think I would re-read any of these books again.The character development is weak and LaHaye seems to pad each book with lengthy retellings of what's gone before. LaHaye also seems to think that it is necessary to repeatedly re-establish character's personalities and motivations, like 30 times per character per book. Like if Dickens were to preface every appearance of Scrooge with, "Mr. Scrooge is an unpleasant curmudgeon."

This review is from: The Left Behind Collection I boxed set: Vol. 1-4 (Vols 1-4) (Paperback)
Hi,here's my review!Ok,First of all,I'm NOT one of those people who give this book good reviews because I'm hooked on the series,I actually have something to say! I will admit that I agree that these books may be easy to read,but that does not make the story less exiting! This 4 book package contains these books: In the first book,Left Behind,you start out with Captain Rayford Steele,And He had it pretty good,A wife, 2 kids, Nice House in the Chicago Suburbs... Then his wife started going to church and dragging him with her!Now She and their 12 year-old boy are totally into this Church thing,and Ray ford doesn't like it.He uses his job as an excuse and starts trying to date Flight Attendant Hattie Durham.That's when his life falls apart... In one instant Millions around the world Disapear,Leaving only their Clothes behind... Rayford has to get back home, he has know if his Family is safe, or not... Another Character is 30 year-old Journalist Cameron "Buck" Williams, Who is one of the best reporters for the "Global Weekly." Buck is on his way to London, England when IT happens, Now He's stranded back in Chicago, With Nowhere to go,and no Answers..... There are a bunch more key Characters, but I will only Mention One more, Nicolae Carpathia... Nicolae Is a young politician from Romainia,who's suddenly been getting a lot of attenion,By the end of book one he's litterlally got the entire UN at his feet... Oh, and there's one other thing, some people believe that he's the Anti-Christ... Ok, That should kinda give you an idea what's going on in Book one,But I can't tell you what happen's in the next 3 books,or who's alive... Well, I hope you liked my review, oh and by the way, I was 9 when I read the first book. Hoped this helped you!

The time to choose is NOW,
By Edward Mitchell (FL , USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Left Behind Collection I boxed set: Vol. 1-4 (Vols 1-4) (Paperback)
I recently purchased two sets(the first eight books-soft cover)of the Left Behind series. It was the first time in years that I didn't feel bored somewhere along the course of reading a book. I was so enthralled with the series that I couldn't and wouldn't stop reading until I'd read every book. At the end of 5 and 1/2 weeks, I was left wanting more.Combining fiction with a modern interpretation of Revelations(a book in the Holy Bible), the reader is taken on a journey with the Tribulation Force(a core group of new believers) in the time of the seven-year tribulation. A time of many challenges, suffering, devastation, false hopes, death and light at the end of the tunnel for some of the human race, in the time preceding the Second Coming of Christ. Those who already believed are gone. Those Left Behind face the choice of giving themselves to Christ and being saved while suffering the consequences served by man through Satan, or following Satan and suffering the consequences served by God. The final battle between good and evil is taking shape. The time to choose is NOW. This series offers story-telling at its finest. I felt a wide range of emotions through the well developed characters and story line. I felt sympathy and empathy with the characters as if they were real. A great story of how things could be that can be appreciated by believers and non-believers alike. Well worth its weight in gold.
