Just read Serenity: Those Left Behind which was, to be charitable, an extremely ordinary book. 2/5.

... a lobotomy, broke his wrists, and reduced his library to 3 books -- Holy Blood, Holy Grail, Writing for Dummies, and Left Behind -- you'd get something resembling Dan Brown.

... demon worshipper') This caught me off guard and I started laughing in the cafe (scaring everyone around me): "In Left Behind the gospel is not the good news of salvation to be shared with the untold millions. It is a secret to be treasured, hoarded and hidden under a bushel by the ...

... graphic novels, but I did like Constantine, the movie. Does that count? ;) #9: So glad I missed out on all that Left Behind hoopla. But now I have to look those names up for curiousity sake. :D

... with beautiful artwork about the loneliness of being a teenager, touching on depression, suicide and homosexuality. 9. Serenity: Those Left Behind by Joss Whedon: a graphic novel based on the Firefly TV series. Nothing memorable about the plot, but I enjoyed the artwork, the introduction by ...

... 3 which I am really enjoying, gave up on High School Debut volume 4, read Descendants of Darkness volume 1, read Serenity (well, this is more a comic than a manga, but it was still interesting) and just read Gorgeous Carat L'Esperanza on Mangafox. I caught it as an entry here and ...

Serenity: Those Left Behind by Joss Whedon - on my wishlist

28. Serenity: Those Left Behind by Joss Whedon (104 p., graphic novel) I'd forgotten about this one - a graphic novel that bridges the TV series Firefly with the movie Serenity - both by Joss Whedon (also known for Buffy, Angel, and more recently Dollhouse). The most interesting part is at the ...

... King Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown The Island by Victoria Hislop Left Behind by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins Tribulation Force by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins Nicolae by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins ...

... Using the example in #20, you would could still see the Serenity recommendations even if you low-rated or unrated Serenity: Those Left Behind. They would just not be in the top ten. So you could delve down to "Serenity: The Ham Sandwich" to your heart's content. And you would know that ...

I'll give you an example. I bought Serenity: Those Left Behind, a really lousy graphic novel set in the Firefly/Serenity universe of Joss Whedon. I bought it because I'm a Serenity nut. I'd buy a Serenity ham sandwich if one were offered, in the vague hope it would taste better. In the case of ...

... to reading my set just to revel in the awfulness and write scathing reviews. I feel about the same way about the Left Behind books. I will eventually read them with an eye toward lambasting them in reviews, but I fear that my efforts will pale in comparison to those of Fred Clark: ...

... own it for a reason—it didn't fall out of the sky onto your shelf—then it's still a data point. For example, I own Serenity: Those Left Behind, a graphic novel that fills in the time between the Firefly series and the Serenity movie. It sucks. I hate it. But it's still a valuable ...

... hidden gem or at least pop commercial hardcovers for 90% off. Probably be the only I'll even convince myself to buy those Left Behind books. There is a used bookstore in Sarasota, FL -- forgot the name -- where the cashier actually took the stickers off the book after you paid for the book. ...

... src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/1593074492.01._SX140_SY225_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg"> Tuesday I read the graphic novel Serenity: Those Left Behind. It did a nice job of filling in some of the gaps between the TV series Firefly and the movie Serenity, but I wish there was more. I am not ...

I read Serenity: Those Left Behind Tuesday, and like people have said on the TV thread, I like it, it is better than nothing, but it doesn't compare with having another episode. Started The Titan's Curse last night. Great so far, of course.

32. Serenity: Those Left Behind by Joss Whedon

#178 -- There are a few graphic novels that attempt to bridge the gap (Serenity: Those Left Behind is the first one, I think). They're better than nothing, though not as good as having more episodes of the actual show. :-(

I just finished Serenity: Those Left Behind by Joss Whedon, a graphic novel which could or could not count as YA depending on who you ask. If there are any Firefly fans in here, it does a good job portraying the events between the tv show and the movie. I'm also currently reading The Book Thi ...

I got Serenity: Those Left Behind in yesterday's mail. It's my favourite sort of acquisition: a book I've already read and thus don't feel the need to read right away.

... want her to have a relationship with anyone else. Then she gets uppity and becomes the Whore of Babylon. In the Left Behind books, the God is very clearly Christian (Christ shows up in later books and kills people with his voice), and people react to the various supernatural ...

Is Left Behind really science fiction though? At most, I'd classify it as fantasy.

You can read plenty anti-semitic nationalism when you pick up copies of the Left Behind series. 99: One branch of fascism was associated with the Futurists. Mainly the Italians when they weren't imitating Neoclassical imitations of the Roman past. In Nazi Germany, it was a combination of ...

... to become fast friends with me. Also, someone whose library consists of nothing but "Biblical stuff" and the occasional Left Behind book. I'd probably report them to the Department of Homeland Security before they firebomb an abortion clinic, gay bar, federal building, or attack a well-meani ...

According to a Google search: Left Behind series was turned into a video game. i don't think I've seen a movie about it.

... with my friends, Kindred spirits who love to read, they told me.."Sugar, you'd better start reading more or you'll be Left Behind". I said to them, don't worry. I'll be reading until Judgement Day!

... Tom Marne (?) Righteous Men by Sam Bourne The Excorcist by William Peter Blatty Stigmata by Phyllis Alesia Perry Left Behind

... assume that you are actually Samples, and refer to you as such. Here is advice I thought I would never give: go read the Left Behind series and copy the writing in those books. It would be an improvement.

Provided I have the stomach for it, I wouldn't mind reading the Left Behind series. You know, ironically ;) Nicolae Carpathia is the name of Big Bad, for Atheist's Sake! Brother of Vigo, I imagine. (Apparently it was written by one of the screenwriters of Ghostbusters 2. To be fair, Ghostbust ...

Oh no, I'll have to hide my Left Behind books and the mysteries about the woman with the cat ;)

... the movie after all—the sort of respect that will never be given to, say, the no more (and probably slightly less) silly Left Behind books. So what constitutes the “mainstream” is I suppose a complicated question. But interpreting criticism of liberal scholarship as a slightly fringy ...

>55 Actually, I was impressed by the first of the Left Behind books (the eponymous Left Behind) because one of the people raptured was the Pope. I didn't see that coming at all. I read 11 and a half of those things (don't ask). I so badly wanted to see Jesus welcoming the Trib Force into his ...

... that any fun? Or is this some crypto-Mormon message book about "baptizing the dead" and "blood atonement"? At least the Left Behind books have badly veiled anti-Semitism, anti-Catholicism, and writing so bad it's hilarious. It's like a fundamentalist interpretation of The Book of Revelation ...

... present themselves to the wider culture. As an example, to a large extent Lindsey's intellectual heir is Tim LaHaye, whose Left Behind series has a pretty broad Christian appeal but who also puts out stuff like Mind Siege which is a lot more combative.

... Hero With A Thousand Faces. He was apprehended by The Man Who Never Was, but in the confusion, The Forgotten Smile was Left Behind .

... was used. (The story of an atheist whose daughter becomes possessed by demons could easily become a bit heavy-handed, but Left Behind this ain't.) I realized that I should have probably read this for Halloween. Well, I still have my Gothic Classics category which is appropriately Halloweeny, ...

"But Soaring Above the Problems of Life is better than than being Left Behind," he insisted. "We'll visit Black Holes, Quasars and The Universe. When Gravity Fails, we can Carve the Sky like Jovah's Angel. And what would A Trip to the Stars be without Space Cat and the Kittens? To S ...

41 - I don't think so, the current continuations are in graphic novel format (see Serenity: Those Left Behind).

I'm with post #3, it depends on what you categorize as "Christian" fiction. Those books, like the Left Behind series, that are primarily aimed at evangelism or pushing a particular version of Christian worldview, are largely dreck. However, certain Christian authors whose works contain ...

... that book. For example, I am a big fan of the "Firefly" series, and some time ago broke down and bought a graphic novel (Serenity: Those Left Behind) of some events supposed to take place between the series and the movie, Serenity. I expected it to suck and suck it did. But I bought it ...

... may be shifting now because Bush wound up burning them so badly. There's hope. But as long as there are things like the Left Behind series, John Hagee's Jerusalem Countdown, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Darwinism and The 700 Club I won't be too easy to convince. I work in a ...

I got Serenity: Those Left Behind today. It's a Firefly graphic novel.

I tried to get into the Left Behind movies, but very few of these were in close captions for the deaf, plus they were obviously not faithful to the books overly much, which tended to ruin it for me. :( However, just saw a movie recently that's a must view for everyone! It's called Why did I Ge ...

... Someone mentioned Consumer Reports: We have to keep those behind the desk and sign them out. For a long time, the Left Behind series books and Nicholas Sparks books were a problem, but that seems to have slowed down. Anne Rice also isn't the problem she used to be. I think ...

... the country talking to various fundamentalists who focus on end times prophecy. He talks to Tim LaHaye, author of the Left Behind series, for example. He's a happy heathen himself, but manages to keep himself from being too sardonic, for the most part. There are a few snarky humorous ...

... Which is a sensible way to protest rather than trying to get the thing shut down entirely. Like The DaVinci Code and Left Behind series, I'm not too interested in "Compass," but feel compelled to read just to know what the hooplah is about.
