John Samuel

From the point of view of an ambitious, if stumbling, angel, this is one of those books you'll want to sink into, consider, re-read, and pass on to other readers. Samuel's lyrical writing is so full of both heart and humor that the work is nearly impossible to put down. If there's a fault, it's that the telling and the voice are so hypnotic, and at times so poetic, that it's easy to slip along and be so swept up in many moments that the larger picture can be temporarily lost. But then, re-wandering through this angel's voice is sort of a game in itself, and a rather wonderful one.

All told, I rather fell in love with this book, and I can't wait to re-read it, and to see what Samuel comes up with next. Readers who want a bit of the supernatural or the wayward angelic in their literary fiction... find this book.

I adored it, start to finish.… (más)
