I'd been listening to the left behind series. Most were the dramatized version and I fell in love with the characters. I didn't want the story to end, a testament to the character development, but truthfully the last book in the series was very disappointing. This book made up for it though. It was thoughtfully written, and the story of Nicholae's childhood was actually chilling. Good book.

Captivating
I picked up The Regime at someone's house and didn't realize it was part of the Left Behind series as a prequel. After I purchased it with an audible credit I was able to switch that to The Rising. Anyway, this book was captivating to say the least. I enjoyed the narration and the story. I can usually predict how things are going to turn out in fiction novels, but this one was quite the challenge and kept me guessing. Now I have to decide if I want to wait to earn another credit for book 2 or if I want to purchase one for 14.00. I probably won't wait! I have to know what happens next! FYI- I've never been interested in the Left Behind series, but now I might have to read all of them!

Surprisingly good.
Where the last few books of the original series slipped into a la-la land of forced solutions and spread out plotlines to fit the 12 book target, this book feels free of any "pace quota", and I hate to say it, but it's refreshingly dark. Carpathia & co. seemed like charicatures of evil -- Bond villains -- in the original series. Here it's as if the LB world has been re-imagined and the dark side given some teeth. Great litrature? Nope. A page turner... well a "keep-your-iPod-handy" kind of audiobook? Yep.

More emphasis on spiritsm than God.
Like the title says I believe it is centered around humanism and spiritsm more than God. Which would not be as bad if it showed a powerful and engaging God instead of a non responding one. Gives a lot of arguments against God that are not challenged through out the book.

Awesome!! No, I'm not kidding you , Sarah
Why is there always , one. That "one ", who sees happiness brought to everyone else must be ruined. Here comes Sarah from Chicago ( I'm embarrassed to admit it's my hometown too) who is going to take a series of " fiction" books and question why readers love them so much when they aren't "gospel". Well, news flash Sarah, fiction means "fake", "not gospel", "made up". In never ever land ANYTHING can happen. Do you honestly believe those of us listening to this story we're searching the good book, the Bible for a book called "the rising " where it spoke of this anti-Christ brat growing up? Get real girl and know this... some of us had very fun childhoods. We were taught about Jesus and Mary and Joseph. They were truth. We were also told about Santa Claus this was not truth and most of us were very upset to hear it was fake. But we got it. We were taught Truth from Fiction. That all said This was by far one of the BEST books to give the reader or listener a fill in for all those questions about how when and why to a 12 book series of those who will be left behind in the rapture Now for the million dollar question Sarah, do you believe the "rapture" is truth?

This was better than I thought it would be.
I had my doubts about this book. I thought at first that it was a way for the authors to capitalize on the success of the original series. However, the stories were original and creative. I really enjoyed getting an understanding of the backgrounds of the main characters of the original series.
As for the audio, the narrator did a wonderful job keeping the flow, while not sounding monotonic. I also felt he did a commendable job of voice inflection for the characters.

It's as though these authors have personally lived the lives of each character in this book... they seem to know them all so well. And the story is really setting the stage for what's coming next. Captivating!
The reader is great, too! His style draws me straight in, letting me have the best seat in the house.
