The Rising: Before They Were Left Behind Audiobook (Unabridged)

" This was actually, probably, my favorite book of the series, because it was just so EVIL. No real surprise there, considering how much I love horror and scary stuff in general. LOL. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's still totally horrible, but much more tolerable than some of the other books in the series. "

" Very satisfying "

" This is a great book, but only if you have read the whole Left Behind series. This book gives you a perspective of Nicolai and Rayford's life before the rapture and what happen that made what they became to be in the Left Behind series, and although this book is really good, I don't think I would have read if I haven't read the series first. "

" I loved the Left Behind Series. This was a very good prequel to the series. It was very interesting to see how Nicolae was born and everything was set into motion. "

" A new series of Left Behind books, this is book 1 of 3 leading up to the rapture. It details the birth and early life of Nicolae, and of Rayford and Irene Steele's life. Give a background for characters in the original series. "

" I have read all of the Left Behind Seies and They do not disappoint. I suggest You start with the Pre's This one especially was enlightening. "

" This wasn't a comfortable read for me and I ended up stopping half way through. I was not thrilled to ponder how the anti-christs childhood would be like, nor was I that much interested in thinking about the enemy he is, and will be, to all mankind and God someday. I got bored real fast. "

" One of three books that precede the "Left Behind" series. A must read, it fills in a lot of the blanks. "

" Very interesting books - makes you really think about the second coming "

" The book was really slow to start, but really good information and became a page turner about half way through. "

" These books are really good. I recommend if you want a good Christian book. I like them. "

" Very good read if you are into the Left Behind books. It gives the back story and history of Nicolae and Rayford Steele. "

" This is another series with the Left Behind series although it is only 3 books in this series. It focuses on the beginnings of Nicholae and his early years before he comes into the Left Behind (12 book series) I guess a pre-quel to the Left Behind although it was written afterwards. "

" I'd forgotten how much I loved these books. Totally worth a re-read! "

" i hated this book. the rest were much better "

" I read this one in three days! The developement of the child antichrist is very realistic. Very good but could have been a little better. It seemed a little 'chopped-up' at times, but it was easy to follow the storyline. I still would recomend it! "

" A good look at the boy Nicolae & Rayford's thinking about religion. "

" It was very good till the last forty pages. The last forty pages just dragged. It wasn't even in story form, it was just telling you what happened. Two or three pages of that is fine, but forty! Still, I plan to read the rest in the series. I just hope they don't all end the same way. "

" couldnt get in to it boring "

" This book wasn't as good as the first 12 of this series. "

" Excellent book that although it is fiction, it none the less gives a chilling account of what the anti-christ may one day be like. "

" Started on this book previously and didn't get very far. Am picking it up again to give another try. "

" If you liked the Left Behind series, this is a must read. "

" Not very many people read this book, they don't really know it is there. It is a bit of a weird book, its all about the Antichrists mother and how she had him and the relationship between her husband, and its just really weird. But its still good and worth the read. "

" This entire series was great! It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time and made me excited for the next book to come out. It wasn't a "preachy" book but at the same time did witness. My review will be the same for all the books in the series. Well worth reading!! "

" Hard to follow on audio because there are many characters and settings and they seem to flip a lot! "

" I loved all the Left Behind books, but this one is a bit different... I'm not sure if in a bad way or a good way, but it almost feels like it was written by different authors... "

" Hard to follow on audio because there are many characters and settings and they seem to flip a lot! "

" wow.. wasn't sure what to expect when reading a Prequel to the Left Behind Series... wow.. it answers alot of questions..especially if you read the entire series first. It shows how Nicholae is made (?)...the way he is.. eerie.. "

" Excellent book that although it is fiction, it none the less gives a chilling account of what the anti-christ may one day be like. "

" Okay that woman is nuts for allowing them to convince her to do that. And that child is possessed, well obviously.. "

" Found the complete series to be very interesting. I anxiously awaited the next book to be published. "

" Wow. I think I read this book with my mouth open the whole time. You want to read a story about the Anti-Christ, well, this is it. It was really an interesting read and I'm glad I got into this series. "

" This is the first book in the prequel series, leading up to the Left Behind series. It gives good background on the characters, things that weren't covered in the Left Behind series. Good read "

" I'd forgotten how much I loved these books. Totally worth a re-read! "
