Salvation

I put five hours of my life into this book. I can probably rant to you about its flaws for at least that long. Much like Left Behind, this book is great when you enjoy shoddy theology and terrible, terrible plots. It really wants to be The Exorcist Meets Constantine– innocent young woman is possessed, virtuous priests try to save her, meanwhile Lucifer's second-in-command wants to be ~forgiven~ and is now wandering the human world. You know it's written by a Catholic because only Catholic exorcism will save her and the virtuous Protestant priest dies halfway through the book and goes to hell, and everyone is guilty ALL THE TIME. Also the author has daddy issues you can see from orbit, and all women are either victims or whores– usually literally (and they all go to hell). The theology of the book is by turns flagellatingly masochistic and blindly sadistic about the fact that so many people are going to BURN IN HEELLLLLLLL. That said, I deeply enjoyed it, but I love terrible literature.
