Great condition. Arrived fast, been looking for a long time for this book.very pleased with on line purchase.
This is an excellent book in this series. If you weren't a believer before, you'll be one now.
Like the first two books, it was suspenseful and unpredictable. Anyone interested in biblical stories will find this book very helpful ,knowelgable and resourceful.
You MUST read this entire series, you will be blessed for doing it and you wont be able to put them down.
Overall, this aspect of the plot is dealt with far too briefly.The characters are poorly developed; they are not capable of showing any real emotion--except for the Israelis, who constantly bemoan their travails and are even more one-dimensional than the other wooden characters. For example, as a bombing attack is prepared against San Francisco, the chief concern of several scenes is whether Rayford Steele's wife is able to get off a plane and get on another one before the first plane takes off. But the war is weakly executed by the writers, and it does not carry with it the mortal weight that you would expect. It's not.The onset of World War III at the end of Tribulation Force set the bar high for this book, which takes place across the beginning of the war. This is the third book of the Left Behind Series. They drop to their knees and pray, and Buck comes up with a way out from thin air. Too much of the book sweats the small stuff, the least important aspects of the plot. But it's almost three times that long, making it a very slow read.The scope of the narrative is severely limited by the perspective from which it written.
This is described in awful detail, dragging the narrative to a halt.In another scene, Buck and two minor characters argue endlessly about how to smuggle themselves out of Israel. It seems he can get away with anything by controlling the minds of the people around him. I enjoyed the first, thought the second was average, and I would have been satisfied if the third book turned out to be as good as the second. In one scene, Buck is working the telephone trying to reach his wife, and he keeps missing her, and he keeps getting interrupted. Nicolae is another character that I found lacking. This essentially renders the entire cabal of Nicolae sycophants useless; it's all Nicolae.The plot is thin, which wouldn't be so bad if the book had been cut to 150 pages. How do they resolve the problem. I appreciate that God is intervening in this scene and also while the characters are escaping out of Israel, but I was embarassed how cheaply affected this scene was.
