Tracey's Book Review of The Rapture, Before They Were Left Behind by Jenkins & LaHaye

The Rapture, Before They Were Left Behind #3

By: Jerry B. Jenkins, Tim LaHaye 

I couldn't get my hands on The Regime (#2) in this series, so I couldn't wait and went on to The Rapture.  So far it's a really good book.  

Nicholae is, as expected, an evil, manipulative creature.  His minion, Leon, is just as bad, although I'm not sure if Leon is doing what he does just to please Nicholae or because he really is a ruthless, evil being.  

Rayford Steele seems to be going through a midlife crisis, but blaming it on his wife, Irene's, turning to God.  His son Raymie has also turned his life over to God and Rafe doesn't seem happy about it.  He's "in lust" over the idea of the flight attendant Hattie, but once the Rapture happens he's quickly over her. He knows where his son and wife are, and presumes that he and his daughter Chloe are the only two left of his family.
