    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.

    Clunky, leaden writing. I found the first 50 pages to be outrageously funny, especially the bits between Captain Steele and the stewardess, Hattie. After 150 pages it became tedious rather than amusing, and so I gave up on it.

    All of the Left Behind books are provacative and page turning. I read them all at least once a year.

    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.

    A unique angle to the traditional apocalyptic thriller. It starts out pretty weak and at times feels a little preachy and repetitive, but ultimately gets interesting enough towards the end to encourage me to give the second book a look.

    2.5 stars. Rayford Steele is an airline pilot, flying a commercial flight; Buck Williams is a journalist and a passenger on the same plane. Mid-flight - all of a sudden - people disappear into thin air, leaving their clothes behind. They discover that millions of people have disappeared in the same manner at the same time, all around the world. Rayford turns to God and his wife's church for comfort and answers; Buck the journalist is just trying to find out what happened.

    I like the idea behind the story, and parts were exciting, but the book just got too preachy for me. There was some political stuff in the book that I just didn't find all that interesting either, so those two things combined really brought down my rating and enjoyment of the book. It ends on a cliffhanger, which may have left me wanting to read the next book, except I just can't handle the preachiness of it all, so I won't be continuing.

    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.

    I just can't get passed the way this book was written. It seemed like the writing of a grade schooler to me... The story-line is interesting, but the writing brings it down!

    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.

     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 read these books in high school and liked them well enough, but there were just too many characters to track and follow. Also, lot of a exposition to get through and speeches given often from the religious leaders.... The movie does look promising though! We shall see...

    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.

    This book really made me think about the end of the world and I started to guess what kind of people were going to be left behind. It was interesting and the characters were real to me.
  • 1/5
    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....
  • 4/5
    This book starts on the day of rapture and lets us into the lives of a few who were left on earth. And then follows the obvious chaos that engulfs the world as everyone tries to understand how millions of people disapeared at the exact same time. Some of these people find their faith and turn to God. While we watch the rest of the world is entranced by the rise of the Anti-Christ. This book is a page turner that I read in one day. It is full of suspense. Its swift pace focusses on world events as well as on personal experiences of a few people. We see how those few people we follow who are rational and logically minded make their decisions on whether or not they believe they are in the end times.

    Read the entire series, enjoyed the story. I wanted to learn more about the theology the book was based on.

    I only read this book because it was chosen for my book club. I tried to approach it with an open mind but my reluctancy was confirmed. The book was unexciting, unfulfilling, and born from "Christian" paranoia. Do not take on this book unless you are willing to read the entire series. The author took 25 chapters to accomplish what could have been done in 5. The ending was no ending at all, it only sets up the next book in this very long series. In short I can't believe I wasted my time and brain cells on this book and would be more than a little embarassed to admit to reading it.

    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.

    Way too preachy for me.
  • 5/5
    This is great series, fascinating to say the least. The writing is a bit weak at times. They also take the book of revelation to the extreme but it does really make you think especially if you are a christian.

    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.
  • 4/5
    Fictional account of the people left behind on Earth after the rapture. Fast-moving, almost believable, with interesting characters albeit a little flat. Theology and preaching cleverly interwoven with the plot. Quite thought-provoking.

    The Left Behind series are kind of a guilty pleasure for me. The boo
