I read the entire Left Behind Series and have even started it over while waiting for book #12. This book was/is a great disappointment, I've been reading it now for a couple of months an am only in the middle of the book. I wouldn't let this book keep readers that read this before reading the Left Behind Series stay away from the LBS. It's an awesome series. I agree with many of the other reviewers the book was just all over the place and I'm sure if I were to continue reading it would make sense but I'm not motivated to do so. I struggled for a couple of months on making the 20 purchase because I'm on a tight budget. I should have read the reviews first like I normally do.
