As an avid reader, I have enjoyed the Left Behind series for what it is: entertainment. The books are not well written works of literature; however, the lastest edition to the series, The Indwelling, has stooped to an all time low. The plot was completely predictable and drawn out. It was evident from the previous book who is the assasin. It is interesting to see the attempts at spiritual questioning and maturing of the characters but it stops at interesting. I find myself no longer caring about the characters because they are shallow. I got the feeling the authors were just trying to drag out books so the series could last longer. I know these men are capable of better and I hope that the next book will prove to be better written and to have a tighter plot. If not, I'm afraid they may lose readership. For those interested in an author who approaches spiritual content in an excellent manner; you may want to check out Francine Rivers books.
