Ayn Rand and Dan Brown do the rapture July 6, 2008
I brought this book for 50p expecting a ridiculous plot, wooden characters, and terrible philosophy.
The book exceeded my expectations. My only complaint concerns the lack of bad sex scenes.
The penultimate scene involves the anti-Christ gratuitously shooting someone in the head, while brainwashing an entire room of highly influential politicians, as our hero prays for his soul in the corner of the room. The anti-Christ concludes this by hitting on an air hostess, but no black mass/satanic orgy results.
While I respect the authors for recognizing that whatever goes on between the beast from the pit and this air hostess is their own business, I do hope this deficit will be corrected in the later books.
I recommend this book to all connoisseurs of the genre.

Unless your a God botherer don't read this book. It's simply an excuse to bombard you with christian fundamentalist propaganda. The writing style is poor, the characters wooden and the word "scripture is probably mentioned over 150 times"
I persevered and managed to get partway through the second book before I gave up in disgust.
if you are a God botherer on the other hand then you'd probably not enjoy it cos the bible is frankly a better read.

If you're into action packed, cant-put-it-down, conspiracy-type stuff, this is definately the book for you!
The story line is brilliant and captivating. I've only finished reading it this morning and i'm gutted i have to wait a whole day till saturday to get the next in the series. Great for Christians AND non-Christians alike. Not the least bit offensive to those from non Christian backgrounds/views but does allow opportunity (if you're the deep-thinking type) to 'soul-search' and consider your own thoughts and beliefs about God and Jesus as you 'get into' the minds of the main characters.
Leaves you wondering if there's the slightest possibility that these things could really happen and where you'd end up if it did come true..........scary but gripping!
So what should you do next? Pick up a copy............unless ya wanna be Left Behind! :)
Religious propaganda thinly disguised as science fiction January 18, 2008

This book made me feel distinctly queasy - in fact, so much so I wasn't able to get beyond three-quarters of it. However, if you enjoy reading full-on Christian fundamentalist progaganda in the shaky guise of a futuristic drama, then this is definitely for you.
The scenario is that millions of people have disappeared - including all of Earth's children - with grief and horror on a colossal scale. You might think that this theme would be developed - or at least mentioned again! - through the book, but no, after three days everything seems to be back to normal and one of the 'heroes' has had a blinding revelation through watching a videotape! This blinkered, one-eyed effort is rounded off by stereotypical descriptions, wooden characters, banal dialogue, poor research (if any) - please note, we haven't drunk 'ales' in pubs in the UK within living memory - so that the end product is truly dire.
Physically, too, the book is a poor effort. My copy was printed on cheap paper, contained spelling inconsistencies, unnecessarily large margins and unjustified text. Visually, it appears to be aimed at gullible twelve year olds with severely challenged attention spans.
To sum up, I found this book disappointing, smug, offensive and insulting to my intelligence.

I am another of the many that picked this book up and flew through it, barely taking time to use the bathroom or eat. I am not a big reader, but found this to be very easy to read and fantastically gripping. From the first few pages the book had me immersed.
I must admit however that the next book or so in the series did slow down but they soon pick up speed again and soon you will just want to race through all of them. Only buy this book if you are happy with reading through an entire series as you'll be thirsty for more at the end.
