Summary: As good or better than Rice.
Review: Great Book - very well written, engrossing and entertaining. The author writes his charactors so real, I truly felt what they were going through, and cared. Wonderful job Lord-Wolff, a real page-turner. I am looking foward to finding out what happens to Tashum, Misha, Mayhem and even Potter. There will be a second book, right?

Summary: Heaven, you ain't whistling dixie!
Review: Great book with none of the pretenses of other writers who try to right the alternative divine story and end up sounding like everything else. there are few who have master the craft of divine literature such as this. first Dante, of course who is as great as Dante. Then there is T.P., and of course Wolfe.

Summary: L. Wolff has a Winner...
Review: I admit, most of the books I buy are from discout stores or are reduced books. I paid full price for this one. And it's worth EVERY CENT! I am sooo glad that I bought it. It's now one of my 3 favorite books! The description was picture perfect (it was like watching a movie in your mind!) and the characters were wonderful. This story was original, interesting, had humor...how many books have Vampires and Angels in them? At first I didn't like the vampire plot at all, but it really works, in an odd sorta way. All I know is that it distracted me from my schoolwork and kept me up past my bedtime. Now I'm telling all of my friends and relatives to read it. And the best thing: It's left open for a sequel! :) :)

Summary: A Good Story
Review: I enjoyed this book. I thought it was a good story about a fallen angel, a group not written much about outside of religious texts. It also provides an interesting explaination as to how vampires are created.

Summary: Just finished reading it.
Review: I have to say I enjoyed the book despite some frustrating aspects. I loved the whole concept of the fallen angels and the focus on their imperfection and human like faults was interesting, yet I longed to know more about their uniqueness. What the author did get into about their physical and mental uniqueness was facinating, the whole concept with the harmonics and "perfect pitch" was great! But again for the most part the angels were perhaps too faulted and human, loosing the supernatural allure. I was quite frustrated at times with the whole vampire connection(although quite creative!), it was just a bit too much like Anne Rice's characters, and if I wanted to read Anne Rice, I would! I have to say I have read a lot of Anne Rice, and this book got too similar to the vampire chronicles with some characters and story lines in places. The author was truly going someplace interesting with the fallen angels, I wish it could have focused perhaps solely on them and their interactions with humans as well as eachother. I do look forward to the next one, and hope to learn more about the angels, we all know quite enough about vampires! All in all, I most certainly enjoyed reading it, could'nt put it down actually... I recommend it!

Summary: A dark, brilliant journey!
Review: I haven't been this sucked into a another world since "The Vampire Lestat." The angels and vampires in this novel love each other, hate each other and their destinies are forever intertwined. Lord-Wolff relies less on supernatural tricks to make this story compelling and more on the ancient tug-of-war between the heaven and earth in all of us.

Summary: Good Ideas and Characters Buried By Overwhelming Storyline
Review: I really enjoyed The Silence In Heaven through its first one hundred pages. I, like many other reviewers, was entranced by the characters. All of them, especially Tashum, were developed to the point that they seemed to be real people. Scenes like the one where Tashum expresses his pain at being expelled from heaven create a setting where it's easy for the reader to develop an emotional connection to the characters. However, I found my interest and enthusiasm waning as I worked my way through the book. What started off as an interesting study of what constitutes good and evil turned into an action movie, complete with explosions and a high body count. The powerful characterizations that existed in the beginning of the book are buried under an outlandish storyline that gets more "over-the-top" as it continues. Compounding the problems inherent in the storyline is Lord-Wolfe's lack of subtlety in reminding the reader that this book is going to have a sequel. Each plot thread that's left open ended is spelled out for the reader in "Big Questions" format (WHY IS THERE A SILENCE IN HEAVEN? Find out in the next book! ). The pitch for a sequel reaches its climax in the last chapter, which can only be described as blatant. I wasn't exhilarated by the time I finished The Silence In Heaven. I was simply grateful that I wasn't going to be hit over the head in a literary sense by Lord-Wolfe anymore. The Silence in Heaven could've benefited from more editing. But, given the numerous punctuation and spelling mistakes in the text, it's evident that editing was not a priority. Still, even with the overwhelming plot, it's a good first book. The characters are even strong enough to merit reading the sequel. However, one hopes that the plot's structure will be refined to match the emotional depth of the characters.
