Busted!: Amazon.ca: Jerry B. Jenkins, Tim F. LaHaye, Chris Fabry: Books

Product Description

From Amazon.com

Picking up where The Underground left off, Busted! logs in as Book 7 in the Left Behind: The Kids series. And the bustee, of course, is Vicki, public enemy number one at Nicolae Carpathia High School, wanted for her part in producing The Underground, the secret newspaper she and her Young Trib Force buddies put out to spread the truth of the Rapture and U.N. Secretary-General Carpathia's evil plans for world domination. Refusing to rat out her friends, Vicki gets thrown into the lion's den--Northside Detention Center--where the resident chaplain tries to sell her on the Global Community Faith, a warped and watered-down vision of God. Lionel, Ryan, and the others pray for her as all around them more signs of the end times appear: Israel begins rebuilding the temple in Jerusalem while Carpathia solidifies his media monopoly. The plot reaches a fevered pitch as Judd and Price fly off to the Mideast to join forces with born-again Jews.

The Evangelical Christian science fiction series Left Behind: The Kids is a youth-oriented story line based on Jerry B. Jenkins and Tim LaHaye's bestselling Left Behind. (Ages 9 to 12) --Paul Hughes --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Awesome book, April 2 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Busted (Mass Market Paperback)

"Left Behind" is about the bible prophecy of the 'Coming of the Lord' that leaves the world in chaos. The book is an idea how it might actually be like for people who did not believe and are 'left behind' after the disappearances of God's loyal subjects he brings to his side. The book is number seven in the series titled "Busted."
The story starts with Vickie who has been found out by Carpathia High, her high school about her Christian activities. They didn't have enough evidence that she was distributing the Underground, a Christian newspaper, but they still convicted her anyway. So they sent her to a detention center where she meets some new friends and then was adopted by the Stein family. This situation is not one a good one and she finally gets help to escape. She is recaptured when she returns to the school she attended. She finds out some news about things she didn't think were true.
Judd visits Israel with his pastor searching for something. Things happen when they arrive back but soon they are all brought back together. Vickie is sent back to the detention center she once left but knowing she has even more people out there caring for her.
To me, all the characters are my favorite. But I will choose only one, Judd is my favorite, because he takes on the responsibility of an adult, even though he is just a teenager All of the other characters respect him, even though they have their problems at times. They think of Judd as a father figure.

I recommend this book to all. Whoever is interested in hearing a story of the end of days on earth I think you should buy the series. I plan on reading the book to the end. To tell you the truth I picked this book just because my teacher wanted us to read a book, but when I started reading I immediately got into it. Now I will buy all the books to see what will happen.

2.0 out of 5 stars More apocalyptic teen soap opera, Nov 15 2003

By	Michael J. Mazza (Pittsburgh, PA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Busted (Mass Market Paperback)

"Busted!", by Jerry B. Jenkins and Tim LaHaye, is #7 in their "Left Behind: The Kids" series of novels. Grounded in evangelical/fundamentalist Christian theology, the book continues the story of a group of young people living in an apocalyptic near future. The book's heroes continue their resistance mission while world leader Nicolae Carpathia continues to consolidate his new world order.

"Busted!" shows some of the flaws of the other books in the series. The dialogue is stiff and corny; many characters and scenes seem a bit forced. A significant theme of this story is the conversion of Jews to fundamentalist Christianity. I found the tone of the Jewish-related material in the book to be patronizing and paternalistic. Still, the story held my interest and did contain some intriguing elements. In some ways, it's like a good old fashioned dystopian sci-fi tale.

5.0 out of 5 stars Busted-a great new series!, Oct 11 2003

By	"ktalexis14" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Busted (Mass Market Paperback)

The Young Trib Force has had amazing success with "The Underground" but, when Vicki's caught, they must make a decision of whether to continue printing the criminal newspaper.
With Vicki sent to a detention center, the three guys work with Mark and John. Also, a new believer joins the group, while one appears that they should have known all along.
Vicki moves in with a foster family, and discovers the secrets they have tried so hard to hide. Meanwhile, Judd travels with Bruce and discovers the miracle of the two witnesses at the Wailing Wall.
This book brings a lot of more character's in, and is wonderfully written. I loved this book, and there's a great twist that no one could ever guess!
