Reviews

I loved the series as a child, but I feel like to many people just expect the entire book of Revelation to unfold the way portrayed in the series. This particular book was alright. It was to obvious by making "Mystery Babylon" into "Enigma Babylon". Along with that, its more focused on fictional character development through LaHaye and Jenkin's fantasized imaginings of the end times.

[Andrew Sparks]

Still good, but starting to get repetitive.

[Abigail Mitchell]

Great!

Well, it's been a while since I read this book. I don't recommend this series to adults unless they're reading with a child.
I'll be reading this again soon with my little sister so I'll update this then. I remember not being able to put it down the first time I read it and through out the series I connected to the characters and cried when they died so, it's pretty good.

This was a very good book! I loved this book! The young Tribulation Force watch uneasily when Carpathia gives out the mark of the beast.

Natalie being a morale monitor had to watch a fellow believer get there head cut off!

This is a very good book and i encourage everyone to read it.

My pre-teen/teen boys love this series. There are 40 total and we are on book 28. We read them together at night.

[Theresa]

to survive in the post returned world the survivors despite their beliefs have to choose to take the mark of the beast or die horribly.

[Chewie]

In this book, the kids had to make a choice: Take the mark of the beast, and side with Nicolae, or fight for God.
