Negative Positive
Title: A disappointing beginning to a disappointing conclusion...
Review: When I first began reading the Left Behind series, it was so rich with adventure, and really got me interested in the Bible and its teachings. Unfortunately, as time went on and the subsequent sequels released, I lost interest fairly quickly, but kept reading to find out what happened to the characters. The end of the series, 1/2 scripture 1/2 novel, was cheesy. But I figured since it was a prequel, it had a good shot of being pretty good. The writing was unprofessional and predictable (a family so religious it scares Rayford? go figure) and the character development actually had me disliking Rayford through most of the book. And the side-story of Nicolae's mother and Nicolae's birth and raising was really unnecessary. Overall, it felt like filler and now it's confirmed: they're going to milk as much wealth out of this series as they can, even if that means ruining it forever.
Is the review positive or negative?
