Summary: A Younger Read
Review: 'Angela and Diabola' by all means, is a very good book. I am 13 and I still enjoy it. The idea is interesting, if not for younger minds. (EG 9, 10) The plot isn't exactly complex but the language colours the story very well and inpires a lot of imagination.

Summary: Angel and Devil
Review: Angela and Diabola is a silly, funny and a great book. I loved the chapter: Diabola develops new skills. I loved it when Diabola went asking for money and said, " Give me some money and I won't hurt you!" to the man and sending away those 2 people with the invisibe gun that shot 1 of them away. I also loved the chapter: Gym and other lessons. I liked it when Dybo pushed miss Mursles off the climbing frame without any clothes on! Angela and Diabola is a great book for all ages because it is not violent but it is extra funny. I think that Angela and Diabola is the best book I read this year!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Angela and Diabola
Review: Angela and Diabola is about two sisters, one very angelic, and one very, very diabolic. The book starts out with Mrs. Cuthbertson-Jones, their mother, giving birth to the twins. Angela comes out very peacefully and doesn't cry afterwards, but Diabola comes out kicking and screaming and almost bites the nurse's finger off. The girls grow up into toddlers and Diabola becomes even worse while Angela became sweeter. When the twins are six they begin school. Angela is very excited, but Diabola is bored and gloomy. Then Diabola draws a horrid picture, and the principal thinks Diabola is a genius. Diabola then starts to love school, and especially drawing. The principal only starts to doubt that Diabola is a genius when she burns down the school building. After that Diabola starts acting even more diabolic. She acts so badly that Mr. Cuthbertson-Jones leaves and abandons his family. Diabola also discovers that she has powers where she can set things on fire, which is how she burned the school down. With these new powers, she burns her house down too. The Cuthbertson-Joneses have to move into a run down apartment. Diabola does many mean but funny things. Read the book and find out what she does! I think this book is hilarious. It is also rather emotional at times, though, for instance when Angela encounters these weird feelings where she feels she must be near Diabola. My favorite part is when Diabola and Mrs. Cuthbertson-Jones are in the kitchen in their apartment and men come in and try to steal all their food. Diabola becomes mad and uses her powers to make their eyes sting. Mrs. Cuthbertson-Jones thinks Diabola hurt the men for her, but really Diabola didn't like the men and had done it for herself. My least favorite part is when Mr. Cuthbertson-Jones leaves his wife to handle the twins. A ngela becomes really emotional when her dad sends her letters.
I really liked this book and would recommend it to anyone who likes books about the good and the dark side of life. Anyone who likes Harry Potter would like this book because it is about fighting and neutralizing evil people. Angela and Diabola is a great book and I would recommend it to anyone who likes a funny novel.

Summary: Wonderful, Amazingly Funny Book!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Angela and Diabola is not only a good book for girls, but also for boys with a good sense of imagination. The book ranges between nine-year-olds through eleven-year-olds. The main characters are two twin girls, Angela and Diabola. Though they are twins, they are nothing alike. Angela is described as a wonderful child spreading joy and happiness wherever she goes. While Diabola, well, let's just say that she is the exact opposite of her sister in every way possible. Their parents had always been able to handle the girls, both the good and the bad, until one day when Diabola does something that neither her parents nor her sister would ever imagine.
Angela and Diabola is a great fiction book with wonderful dialogue and text. One thing that I really like about it is that the beginning jumps right into the story. The book really held my interest throughout the whole story. Anyone who has a good imagination and likes a great fiction book will enjoy this book.

Summary: Awsome Book
Review: Angela and Diabola is one of my all-time favorite books. The story is very interesting and will keep you riveted.Just to give you the basic story outline, there are twins born and one is angelic, the other like a little devil. The story is about how they cope with each other and how the people around cope with them. The ending is surprising and very good. Lynn Ried Banks twists good and evil into a compelling novel that 9 year olds and up will enjoy. At the end of the story, you will know the characters so well, you will wish there was a sequel!

Summary: Awsome Book!
Review: Angela and Diabola is one of the best books I've ever read. A well written novel by Lynn Reid Banks weaves good and evil into a touching and unforgetable novel. The story is this: Mrs. Cuthbert is expecting a child, but has twins. One child is so angelic, it's like a piece of heaven came.The other one so incredibily devilish,she frequently scares people. Angela helps, while Diabola hinders. The story is worked around how the sisters cope with other people, and each other. When finished, you will be so familiar with these characters, you will wish their was a second book!

Summary: Interesting, but for older kids please!
Review: As a parent, I found the book interesting and thought-provoking, but I did not allow my 7 year old to finish it! Don't assume that advanced reading skills make the 7-10 year old set ready for this one, even though Ms. Reid-Banks other books are appropriate. It might be an entertaining point of discussion with a child 12 or older, but it's too dark for younger ones, unless you're ready to talk about true evil, adult motivations, supernatural forces, and fratricide!

Summary: GrEaT BoOk!
Review: I first got this book when I was eight and I totally loved it! I have read it every year since then! It is about a pair of twins who are born one VERY good and one EXTREMELY bad. Angela and Diabola. Diabola causes chaos wherever she goes, whereas Angela is ever so sweet and angelic. When Diabola claims to not care about her father he leaves the family. Mrs. Cuthberson-Jones is left alone to cope with DIabola something she has never done before. As Diabola becomes meaner, she develops powers. Angela is becoming even more good. How will the good and evil balance out? Read this book to find out.
