Customer Reviews

  • Rating "Snappy Dialogue, richly worded"  Sep 18, 1999 (7 of 7 found this helpful)

    I loved this book. The three main charactures of this book are sisters growing up in a very disfunctual family in the 60's. I caught myself laughing out loud so many times, at the authors use of humor during some very un-humorous moments in the book. The characters are real, and reminded me of the different emotions I felt growing up. I think it is a gift for an author to write of shrewd and tragic situations with a sense of humor at the same time. If you enjoy a book that "you cant put down"...this is a book for you. I am excited to read more from this author.

  • Rating Innocent yet worthy  Aug 23, 2005 (1 of 1 found this helpful)

    I absolutely loved this book....you feel as if you are a part of each of the sisters lives...the author really draws you into the story. It talks about all the little things that girls go through growing up that they probably would never dare tell you Wonderful book.....55555555 Stars.

  • Rating A Rarity!  Apr 9, 2009 

    Falling Angels is a rare novel. Well-developed characters, wonderfully compact prose, and a simple but interesting premise. If you read one book this year, read this one.
