Rating: Summary: Wrath of Angels: Robin in the Snow Review: The following was sent to me before the book was ever even queried for publication:"...As a general comment, your book is extremely well written. I was more than a little surprised that (name left out) knew anyone with such literary talent. It was a pleasant surprise. You are obviously a very observant individual with a wonderful eye for detail. Your descriptions have an almost photographic quality--they can be read and re-read much as one would browse a family album which captured a great deal of one's youth. Your images are vivid--they provoke thought and trigger memories. Your cast of characters is diverse and interesting. Their number is more than adequate to variegate the story yet not so large that a reader would become confused. You provide enough depth to fairly represent their individual natures. This makes the reader feel there's sufficient material to gain accurate personal insight into the players. Pacing is very good. The story flows along at a fast enough rate to sustain interest but not so fast as to lose the reader. The rate you've chosen is perfect for creating and sustaining the mysterious mood you were after. Great dialogue. It is what moves the story along so well. Too often writers overdo the exposition and make their stories sound preachy. While your book has its preachy moments they are offset by the quantity of pertinent dialogue. This is an especially good trait of your writing. Excellent vocabulary and use thereof. You exhibit a strong mastery of the language. In summary, you've got something that should sell and you ought to try to move it as soon as you can. I think you may well have a winner here. Bob Wojtyna P.S. This assessment assumes, of course, that the reader buys into the premise of angelic existences. I myself do not. However, it is your good fortune that the vast majority of the world's readers do ascribe to these entities. That may well translate into very rewarding sales.

Rating: Summary: Have to read this book. Review: This book was recommeded to me by a friend. I am glad that I took the time to read it. It was quite enjoyable. Most books have loose ends. This book has nothing hanging, to make you wonder wat happened to a certain character. It was a real page turner. I couldn't put it down, I had to know what happened next.
