Rating: Summary: This book was okay. Review: I liked the book for the most part but I think that the author could have put in more about Angela. But besides that, it was GREAT!!! For any of you who have a sister or brother that you don't get along with, read this book and look back on your arguments and say to yourself, they were MINOR!!!! Also if you just want a book to read, this would be the one!!!
Rating: Summary: Perfect Book For Entertainment Review: I loved this book so much. I first read it at school. It's one of those books that keep you turning the page and craving for more. I think it was awesome and everyone should read it. The characters were amazing and full of life. The storyline was incredible. It was just awesome. It completely blew me away. It's the next best thing after the Harry Potter books.
Rating: Summary: The Best Book In The World! Review: I loved this book so much.I couldn't stop reading.Its about twins. One is good and one is very,very bad.
Rating: Summary: Finding the Balance between Good and Evil Review: I read this book from an adult's perspective.
Like many of the reviews have already said, this book was vividly descriptive in nature and very alluring in plot.
The take home lesson for any reader would be that we should not just see things as absolute good or absolute evil, but instead see the grey areas - the fine line that separates good and evil.
We may not be angelic like Angela or demonic like Diabola. But we find the balance of good and evil in all of us human beings. Depending on which side triumphs over the side on occasions, we behave accordingly - angelically or irrately.
Rating: Summary: A super read-a-loud Review: I read this book to my 6th grade language arts class to start the year. It allows us to discuss good-vs-evil, and to hear a hilariously funny book. We frequently stop to make predictions about what will happen next. Everytime I stop reading, they want more.
Rating: Summary: A good and very funny book!!! Review: I thought that ANGELA AND DIABOLA by Lynn Reid Banks was a good and funny book, because at some parts it makes me laugh and at others it's very exciting. The kind of reader that might enjoy this book is someone that likes adventure, excitement and funny books like me. You should read this book because it's about twins that don't seem anything alike. You shouldn't read this book if you don't like it. How you know you don't like it is if you don't like exciting, funny and adventurous books. Angela is one of the main characters and on of the twins, and is a sweet, kind and, can you believe when she was being born she wasn't crying at all, that can't be. She wasn't mean and loud. Diabola in the other hand was born crying, kicking fighting. She had teeth to bite the nurse's thumb and forefinger. Their parents they think that Angela is an angel and can get whatever she wants. Then comes Diabola. Their parents paid no attention to her at all. Their mother always has to deal with her. Not many times the dad. She doesn't like it at all. It's like the parents have chores going on and off taking care of Diabola. The author's settings are in a lot of places, such as the hospital where the twins were born, their house where the twins live and plenty of others. Also in the story Angela and Diabola oops... you'll have to find out when you read this great book. I would recommend ages 8 and over because that's the ages it would make sense to, but if you are younger you can ask your parents to read it to you. Other books by this author is THE INDIAN IN THE CUPBOARD, THE FAIRY REBAL, I HOUDINI, MAURA'S ANGEL and many other good books.
Rating: Summary: Angela and Diabola Review: I've borrowed this book from the school library.Well, what I can say about this book is,it's very interesting. It is about a pair of twins. One is good(called Jill),another is bad(called Jane). But later their parents made them to be christian and the good one called Angela while the bad one called Diabola. Everyone loves Angela much and hate Diabola. When the twins grow up, they have power to do good things and bad things. Of course, the good one do good and the bad one do bad. Their power were so strong that the bad one can make people sick by using her eyes and the good one can cure them if she want. I think this book is really interesting because no book I've read have got such extreme case.
Rating: Summary: Amazing book! Review: If you were a mother with twins it could be hard.But imgiane if you were Mrs.Cuberson-Jones!One as an angel called "Angela" and another as a devil called "Diabola".Watch out for Angela's beauty and Diabola's devilness. With a lot of 'twinnish', a language which is used by the twins to communicate, Diabola talks to Angela because she does not know how to speak a lot of English. But when they go to school the principal thinks Diabola is a genius. But wait till she makes her funny mistake! Watch out for a ton of fun!
Rating: Summary: modern fairy tale Review: It's often difficult to find an author who is willing to address the "dark" side of girlhood. It's virtually impossible to find an author who will address the NEED for that "dark" side. My daughter and I both laughed out loud and gasped in horror as we read this book. When it was over we had lots to discuss. Things like when it's good to be angry, how to express yourself and exactly what it means to be a good little girl. I believe Ms. Banks was urging girls to be balanced in our increasingly unbalanced world.
Rating: Summary: Angel and Devil Review: Its girl! It's actually two girls. Twins: Angela and Diabla. Angela is as sweet as an angel and , her twin sister, Diabla is the opposite. Diabla always throws things at Angela, but Angela still loves her anyway. Angela always want to be with be with her sister Diabla. When Angela and Diabla are together it calms diabla down.Diabla can make things cacth on fire and make buildings fall down. But when Angela is around Diabla can't do any harm to anyone. I realy enjoed this book. If you like contmporary fiction, you might enjoy Angela and Diabla.
