Left Behind

I read the first one when I was still religious because it was so highly recommended by people in my congregation.

The characters were one dimensional, the story was obvious, and the bad guy just decided to be bad for no reason.

I can't take a book seriously if they have a character named Hattie. Also the insane end of the world BS was a factor also.

I feel the same about books with characters named Buck :)

Godawful Movies podcast has great reviews on all three movies based on the books. There is a running joke on the name Rayford Steele. It's hilarious. 🤣

I read about ten of the Kids series and the first eight Left Behind books and I have to say, Left Behind Kids was better, for all of the reasons you mentioned.

It legitimately shocked me. So many people loved it that I thought I was in for something special. I guess it was "special" but not the way I had imagined.
