Title: The Rising is a disappointment
Review: I really liked the Left Behind series and looked forward to reading the new prequel"The Rising", but this book was definitely a disappointment for several reasons. The character development was slow and tedius, and by the time the book picked up the pace there was little interest in what happened to the characters. We are to assume that since this book takes places years before the Rapture that the timing is probably during the 1960's, but the characters have all the modern technology that exists now, such as the cell phone, computers, email,etc. It was distracting and odd that the authors would do this. I found Nicolae to be a totally ridiculous and unbelievable character, and in the end think that it would have been better to have left his childhood to our imagination.
Is the review positive or negative?
