The first Dr Siri book.  Not nearly as good as those that follow - but that is a good thing

Some of the stories were good and some of the stories were not so good. It is still worth checking out!

Not totally what I expected-  a little amateurish.  Sort of left me a little not moved-

So far, I've read all eleven Left Behind novels, and while they are not perfect, I think that some people don't give it enough credit because of unfair comparisons.  People often point to We All Fall Down and The Christ Clone trilogy as better novels, and in a way, they are, but they are also very different.  Left Behind seems to be more of an introduction to the subject of the End Times, a series that is reaching out to all people of different ages.  It's not particularly well written, but it is clear and straightforward.  The characters are not particularly realistic or interesting, but these are not character studies, these are novels that are trying to give people an overview of this concept, and they do that quite well.
To compare these to other novels with similar themes is a little bit unfair.  We All Fall Down is much better written and more intelligent, but the focus of that novel is much more intensley spiritual and more of a character study that uses the End Times as a backdrop to explore complex issues of evil and salvation.  It is for more mature, serious readers and it's aim is very different from Left Behind.  Likewise, The Christ Clone is more of a techno-thriller, interested in exploring how, realistically the End Times could arive.  I will admit that I enjoyed these other books more than Left Behind, but that does not take away from the fact that Left Behind still does a decent job with the subject.  They are not great novels, but they are nowhere near as bad as some people are saying.

This is a very good video but not as good as some of the others that you all have made in earlier years!

I am not quite as five-star enthusiastic as the other reviewers of this story. It seemed to follow a mostly predictable path with characters that were not the easiest to relate to, but overall I found it a decent read.

The jury is still out on the healing miracle aspect....

After three fast-paced, suspense filled books, I found this one to be... less of that.  Still quite good, and above average when compared to a host of other books, but certainly the slowest, thus far, in this series.  Knowing that there was the next book in the series helped me to plod through this one and, ultimately I found that the pace did pick up and that there is reward for patience and persistence as the story unfolds...  It's worth the read as part of the series.

It's ok. Not as good as the authors other more famous - Life's little instruction book. One story is factually incorrect - The one regarding Churchill and Fleming.

There is something to this book, but not as much as the glowing reviews suggest.  The pace is slow, the characters eventually real and the atmosphere very strong.  But there is something missing here also.  I think it is purpose. At the end I didn't care much about the people and I don't know that I should have.  I even think  the author may have intended me not to care.  He is an interesting writer but I belive that th reason one reviewer feels that he has read 50 books by him  already is that it is often derivative.  Chabon is in here (but comparisons with Chabon are way overdone).  There is even some Graham Swift in here.  But those are two authors who always make you care or give you comething to care about.  Without that I just don't see the point of this book.

Not quite as good as the original tune, but a nice try none the less.

The book was OK, more than OK at times, but not as good as I'd expected. I might try another in the series to see if I can get into it.

It's not as good as what I used to get in Asia(that my grandmother or neighbors made..), but still quite good.

Good, but not NEARLY as good as their- Ain't I'm A Dog! from the same series.

3.5  -- not the Walker brothers, but I will read some of the others and see.

If I could give this book three and a half stars or the other Harrison-Baskervill one (reviewed below) two and a half, I would.  Although neither lived up to my expectations, this one is decidedly better.  I could quickly find the word I was looking up, and there are some citations of works in which a word is to be found.

I have most of the originals, and they are much better.  Not all that impressed.

I found this one quite sluggish. The first quarter of the book moved along sort of so-so, but the middle is a stall and now that I am in the last 60 pages, I find myself forcably trying to stay focused. It seems to run on and I'm looking for the direction the author is going in. Not a very good read folks. Stick with the greats; Eddings, Brooks, Goodkind, Harrison, Jordon, Elliott, Martin...--these authors have outstanding worlds soooo worth the explore!!
