Left Out: What to do if Your Left Behind or Left Below
Tim LaHaye called it Left Behind.The Rapture: that auspicious moment when Fundamentalists everywhere suddenly disappear, raptured into Heaven, safe from the coming Tribulation.
Left Out is the story of twin brothers, Benjamin and David Bragg. Benjamin comes from the philosophy that all paths to God are sacred, and David believes that the only way to get to Heaven is to accept Jesus Christ as your Personal Savior and renounce your affiliation with the Democratic Party and declare war on anyone who would take "Christ" out Christmas.
The day finally comes when nearly a billion people disappear from the Earth, most of them from the United States South. Meanwhile, in Heaven, things aren't going as expected. Despite the beauty and the splendor, Heaven's the new residents make a gruesome discovery. They don't like each other, but they're stuck with each other forever and ever hallelujah hallelujah!

This was free, so it gets an extra star.
It was well written and the story had a good flow/feeling to it.
But it was not extremely entertaining. The beginning was good, and then it went downhill. Long descriptions which didn't add to the story and longer monologues and lectures on theology and philosophy and sociology and so on.
I found myself nodding a lot of times, because all the stuff discussed sounds good and logical and so on. It just isn't very entertaining.
And it is not really a romance.

Fun take on fundamentalism. Reminded me of the story of howls of outrage damning the "saved" when they learned God was forgiving the others as well. Entertaining and curiously satisfying.
