Second Chance (Left Behind: The Kids #2)

Rating:
Summary: For religious fundamentalists and wannabes only
Review: "Second Chance," by Jerry B. Jenkins and Tim LaHaye, is the second book in their "Left Behind: The Kids" series of young adult novels. These books are rooted in fundamentalist Christian theology. This novel takes place after an event known as the Rapture. According to the book, all true Christians mysteriously disappeared from the earth during this Rapture, and those people remaining on earth will eventually face an apocalyptic nighmare.

This sounds like the stuff of intense, sweaty-palmed drama, but this book is remarkably bland and boring. The characters are pretty much all shallow stereotypes, and the dialogue is dull. The melodramatic chapter titles ("Ordeal at O'Hare," "More Shocks," etc.) seem silly in light of the book's overall blandness.

The book seems to have two main purposes: (1) to scare impressionable teens into becoming religious fundamentalists, or (2) to reassure those readers who have already embraced fundamentalism. I know the book is part of a series, but its abrupt ending makes it unable to stand on its own apart from that series. Overall, a weak piece of literature.

Summary: OK, but not the best
Review: This is a book with great meaning, but honestly I think that it is not the best in the series. I really enjoy the series, but the first books are not the best. I encourage you to buy the 32 books in this series-and buy this one at a low price. I would like to tell you a little of what this book is about, so you will get an idea.
Four kids have been left behind. They are all alone, and wonder what to do. But will they accept God's second chance for them?
