Product Description
Book Description
Sardonic and merciless, this satire of the entire apocalyptic enterprise provides a humorous and timely interpretation of the bestselling Left Behind series—the adventures of those "left behind" to battle the Anti-Christ after all Born-Again Christians have ascended into heaven. From predatory preachers and goth lingerie to Indian casinos and “art cars” at Burning Man, this religious spoof deftly pairs the personal with the fictional. Featuring an extensive author interview and biography, this contemporary parody also includes the unique one-act drama, Special Relativity, which asks the question: When Paul Robeson, J. Edgar Hoover, and Albert Einstein are raised from the dead at an anti-Bush rally, which one wears the dress?

It'll be rapturous for me, too., Jan 13 2010
By Jack - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Left Left Behind (Paperback)
If you can't take "The Rapture" seriously, then you'll enjoy this book because it doesn't either. An added plus a of a short play makes this a real fun book to read.

My First eBook, July 26 2010
By TFaust - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Brought the Left Left Behind by Terry Bisson as my first ebook. I've heard of the Left Behind series but never bothered to read them. Now I will and I bet they will be hysterical having Bisson's parody in mind. It was wonderful. I used the Kindle for PC software on my old IBM Thinkpad since I'm a cheap old air biscuit. The reading was easy. Folks have told me ebooks are better than print books but I have to say it was tricky reading in the bath. I managed to keep my IBM afloat with some empty Dr. Pepper bottles as pontoons and a huge Ziplock bag to protect the IBM. I imagine a Kindle would require fewer floats. I'd skip the bubble bath next time.
