I read the beginnings of five suspense, mystery, and/or thriller books before settling on this book as having the most interesting start. I am glad that I stuck with this book since it turned out to be an enjoyable read. I was pulled into the story from the beginning, and the author kept me hooked throughout with short chapters that kept the story moving. This book was perfect for reading on breaks, too. The story starts off with every electronic item failing indefinitely. This event pushes the characters into despair, which in turn causes some to resort to crime. The main family of the book, the Brannings, try to come to terms with the change, but that proves to be more and more difficult when murder becomes an issue for the small, well-to-do community where they live. For the most part, the characters in this book were interesting and likable. However, Deni Branning becomes a central character in the book, and she was also the most annoying character to me. She describes herself at different moments of realization in the book as “...rebellious, arrogant. Foolish. Irrational.” as well as “spoiled and vain and selfish.” That is a pretty good summary of her character. It was impossible to like a character with those characteristics, but there was enough balance from the other characters in her family and her neighborhood that helped me get past my feelings for her. Be aware that this is a Christian Fiction book. If one goes into the read knowing that, then there should be no surprises. The Christian themes may be somewhat heavy handed for a couple of chapters in the middle of the book and a couple more near the end to some readers, but, for the most part, the Christian themes are more smoothly integrated into the rest of the book. Although there was never really a definite explanation for the catastrophic event, and a few other questions were left unanswered, I still felt that the main murder/suspense story was complete. I do realize that this is the first in a series, though. Considering the idea of more characters like Deni and the price of the other books in the series (this was a free read from the Kindle store), I am still contemplating whether or not to continue in the series. Still, this was a great, fast paced read that I would recommend to others.

I was told, after I purchased the book, that it is a Christian book and immediately thought it would be preachy. So I opened the book and started reading cautiously; ready to throw the book to one side if it started preaching at me. I’m glad to say that it didn’t preach. Yes, there were religious sections in the story, but that was to be expected and the author was careful to slip them in were it was appropriate. And I never felt that the explanations went over the top. They were written clearly and concisely, so they didn’t distract from the story plot in the least. Basically, the story follows two men left behind after the “rapture”. Rayford’s storyline is religious and, to be honest, I enjoyed this part of the book (which surprised me). Buck’s storyline is political and, not surprisingly (for me), this was the let down of the story. Whilst Buck’s storyline could have been quite interesting, I found it bogged down with the politics and therefore … quite boring. More than once I felt like skipping Buck’s scenes and reading the next section for Rayford. However, knowing religion and politics would surely be combined in the end, I read every scene (reluctantly). And, of course, I was right. Suddenly, the two merged and the pace steadily climbed and there was an exciting race to the all important climax. Once there, the authors quickly brought the book to a close. I knew Left Behind was the first book in a series but, although there was some closure, I didn’t feel completely satisfied with the end. I feel that all books should leave the reader feeling content, even if the big picture has only just begun. This book failed in that regard. Do I recommend the book? I feel that if you’re looking for an “end times” story to read, you could probably find better. However, if you want to know what the bible predicts, then this is a good starting point or introduction. I’m not sorry I read the book and I did find it interesting. It is a series which is being used as a medium to introduce people to Christianity. For that reason, I cannot recommend the book or the series. I would feel strange doing so.
