Left Behind

christ.

I'd read this once before, quite a long time ago, but, I have to admit when I read it this time, I remembered nothing of the story. It's a good read and I will be reading more of the books in this series.

I read this series as a teenager. It's hard to rate because it is such a specific genre written for a specific audience. As a teen having been raised within the religious beliefs which this book (and series) was targeting I thought it was fantastic. Exciting, concrete and palpable retelling of such things as the rapture which I found to be such an unthinkable concept. Read this series for what it is meant to be. Basically a description of the end of times from a certain belief system written for a mass audience. The writing is not Shakespearian, nor is it meant to be. It is meant to carry a message and by the number of books sold and the 2 movies made LeHaye has accomplished that goal.
