Summary: What's the deal with Frank Muller?
Comment: This review is aimed towards the unabridged audio book. I give the book itself a 5 as I do all the Left Behind books so far. What a truly amazing series of books!! The Audio books up until this one have been read by Richard Ferrone, who is by far the best book reader I have ever, ever listened to. He get's so much into the personality of the characters and brings them to life, you don't ever space off and lose your place in the story. He completely draws you into it, and keeps your 100% interest. For some strange reason for this audio book they went with Frank Muller, who in my opinion is terrible!!! This guy reads like he is in a race to finish the book as fast as he possibly can. I swear, from beginning to end he never takes a single breath, and all of his words rush together so quickly it's hard to follow! And the voices he uses for the characters.... well I'll just say, he completely ruined this story for me. It would be great if they went back and had Richard Ferrone reread this book for the unabridged audio book. And for those who have never listened to an unabridged Audio in the left behind series by Richard Ferrone... even if you've already read the book, check out an audio book by him. It really brings the book to life. Don't waste your time with the abridged versions though, they cut out sooooo much. Frank Muller, take a breath or take a break will ya???

Summary: The series is boring as heck...
Comment: First, you have the rapture, which while interesting, mainly is a matter of getting home which takes half the book. Honestly, the main character is an airline pilot, why couldn't he hire a private plane to pick his daughter up? Then you have the rest of the first book waiting painly for the two major characters to meet. Then, in the second book, you have them talking forever about getting a job at home, and publishing this website, but you don't see them doing it. The priest dies in the second one, and they hear about this Tsion Ben-Judah character. In the third one they finally publish the website, and Tsion joins, but even now, they have almost no real converts. They seem to skip the seven signs too, or at least do them out of order, for I saw no overt mention of the famine, plagues, or death, they did war and from what I noticed the next was the earthquake. By the fourth book I stopped reading.

Summary: The ultimate loyalty test
Comment: "The Mark" picks up where "The Indwelling" left off...now Global Leader Carpathia institutes a mark of loyalty to be forced upon mankind, with the alternative being death via guillotine. While this installment is basically uneventful (except for the Trib Force escaping from or hoodwinking the Global Community police force in several places), to me, it was the most spiritually impacting of the eight I have read, especially when it comes down to the fateful choice of refusing the mark, or accepting it. Leon Fortunato's introduction of the loyalty mark was quite chilling. I thought the passage when Miklos' wife (and a group of other believing women) refused the mark and received the punishment was quite heroic.
One glaring spiritual omission, however, is found in Revelation 14:9-10 where an angel in a loud voice says "if anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he will also drink of the wine of the wrath of God"....no such angel was found in "The Mark" warning people. (Perhaps I'm too picky?)... Still a great book in a great series.
