Rating: Summary: Pleasant fluff, but a really twisted message Review: This book essentially says that God will send his and/or her angels to watch over you, give you money, buy you all kinds of things, and help you find true love -- but only if you're white, rich, beautiful, smart, sexy, Christian, and preferably Irish. It's a pleasant enough love story, with the same old Greely plot and character types, but when you look back on it, you have to wonder: is God(dess) really so trite, banal, and capricious as to send angels (sexy, beautiful female angels, of course) to do all THAT for some computer nerd just because he happens to be named Tobias? Hmph.
Rating: Summary: This book is an unbelievable story. I loved all 400+ pages. Review: This book was superb. I can't say enough good things about it. I just hope that Father Greeley decides to write about this tandem again
Rating: Summary: Boy meets girl in Galway City...one of Greeley's best Review: While at times I must admit that I am disconcerted every now and then by the fact that one of my favorite authors is a Catholic Priest, Andrew Greeley always manages to entertain, enlighten, and oftentimes educate the reader without getting too "preachy". This book is indeed what is states it is. It is a sweet old fashioned love story, with a few Greeley-isms thrown in. From the modern internet theme to the lovely Irish setting and vibrant loveable characters this book is classic Greeley. Very few things are better than that.
