Armageddon (Left Behind #11) 
asked by dataworld on November 1, 2006 2:22 PM
The scattered Tribulation Force is drawn inexorably toward the Middle East, as are all the armies of the world, when human history culminates in the battle of the ages. During the last year of the Great Tribulation, safe houses are no longer safe, and the cast of characters dramatically changes. By the time of the war of the great day of God the Almighty, the globe has become a powder keg of danger. Except those already in Petra, everyone has been forced to relocate as Antichrist ratchets up the pressure in the world's most treacherous game. Who will be left standing when the battle leaves the Tribulation Force on the brink of the end of time and the Glorious Appearing?

Although I knew things were going to get dicey in this chapter of the series I wasn't quite ready for what happened in this one. Sorry I'm not going to give it away, just know that the events will set you back in your seat.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

I'm not Christian. I'm Agnostic and I picked up the book because I thought it looked interesting and I wanted to learn something about Christianity.
This is perhaps one of the worst books I've ever read. Let me be clear that I am saying nothing against religion in this review. I cant judge that, but I can review this terrible writing. LaHaye and Jenkins seem to have no concept of motivation, logic, or storytelling. It's as if when writing the book they had ideas of where the characters should end up, but then used the first idea that popped into their heads about how that should happen with no critical thought at all.
As stated before, the names of the characters should have given me pause, the most egregous being Chang Wong, a name so stereotyped that I cant believe the authors have ever met an Asian. At this book in the series the world has devolved into a right wing nutjob survivalist fantasy, where the TribForce(...) is living literally underground, in rebellion against the New World Order(who call themselves, wait for it: the New World Order).
The final battle of the Apocalypse is fought on ATV's and horses.
Jesus.

What's with all the glooming reviews? It's a christian fiction--as pointed out by the authors on the cover themselves. When embarking upon a book, I looked to be entertained and this book clearly does it for me as well as it should for ANY reader. So I defend the book's purpose. I can't put it down and I'm only half way through it--enjoying it in fact.
Choose to believe what spiritual and religious facts and truths you would like. However, if you are inspired to search the truth, then search the inspired Word of God, The Bible; and search to understand God for yourself. Otherwise, take the other book-bashing reviews with a grain of salt and enjoy or be moved by the experience and journey through which the book takes you.
I do recommend reading the entire series as I am doing. The series is not a hard read and you will flow through it very quickly. If you're looking to be entertained, this is a series for you.
