I have to say that the Spirit did not move me...
...while reading this book. Part of the problem was the writing, which seemed more on the level of a young adult novel (and not a particularly well-written one), part was the lackluster characterization, and part was the fact that the story just wasn't very compelling. Two things in particular bothered me...(1) The relatively small disruption that the Rapture caused in the world, since people seemed to pick right up and carry on, as though nothing of import had happened.(2) The lack of power in the descriptions of various individual conversion experiences. I've done more spiritual soul searching when I started a diet than these people appear to do before repenting and accepting Christ.I also thought the names were pretty silly, as someone else noted, and that Nicolae was a boring villain. I won't be reading any of the sequels.
