On the sixth of 13 Left Behind books right now, reading some parts carefully, skimming through or skipping others altogether.
But it's clear.
These books are bad.
Like, really bad.
Steven Seagal movie bad.
I can't believe Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins made so much money off of this awful writing. Among other problems, these authors can't even do simple math when it comes to keeping reasonable track of the timeline in their supposed calculated seven years of Tribulation, from Rapture to Jesus' Second Coming to establish a millennial kingdom on Earth, nor can they keep track of the Earth's remaining population after each plague/judgment during that Tribulation period. This inconsistent writing is all apart from bad characters who not only act unsympathetically (even among the believers, I mean) way too often, but don't even act like real humans. This crap story may as well be taking place on another planet entirely.
