Why would you want to read the Left Behind series?

Answer 1

A:

Some say that Left Behind is a good read, and the nuber of persons who have read the whole series suggests that it is addictive. But others say the series is "almost laughably tedious" or "fatuous and boring."

Some would want to read the Left Behind series to better understand Darby's "Rapture theology", which is featured in the books. The authors are avowed dispensationalists and LaHaye is also responsible for a number of related books placed in the non-fiction category, so one could suppose that this avowedly fictional series is designed to foster interest in the authors' theology.
