Criticism Epithetical Books Confessions of a Fallen Angel

Despite the awesome title and subject matter, I didn't like this book as much as I wanted to. Don't get me wrong, there are some genuinely funny bits (he refers to a patron at a local pub as an honorary member of Densa), devastating moments of heartbreak (sliding to the floor after finding the love note written in magnetic letters on the fridge by his wife before she dies), and a hefty dose of violence. But I lost my emotional attachment to the characters in the last 50 pages, and in the end it

This tale of a boy who has a near death experience and consequently has visions of the death of loved ones was absolutely excellent!The cringe worthy realisations that his attempts to meddle with fate and prevent those deaths are the causes of them had me shouting out for him to stop!! My heart broke as the narrator took you on his journey of grief and guilt after his wife's death, and luckily I was reading it at home at the time and not on the bus to work, as tears were streaming down my

This book was a quick and easy read. I enjoyed it, but once I'd worked out the formula, it was pretty easy to see where it was heading. However, it's hard not to feel for a character who knows that those he loves will be ripped away from him. And the little everyday details of his losses made it for me.At times it felt a little rushed. It was too quick to close a chapter and move onto the next one. There were places where I would have liked to linger longer. And some of the characters felt a

This book made me think for a long time after finishing it. It had the same effect on me as The Lovely Bones... Left me feeling somewhat sad but also intrigued and while reading it totally captivated. A fantastic debut and I hope there will be a second novel from this talented author!

The cover threw me off a bit, thinking that it may be a bit juvenile for me. You know that old saying though, so I didn't. The characters streak of bad luck I could relate to as well as his depression. It's not all negative. The writers narrative is refreshing and had me drop all of the other things that I had reading at the time. I hope he's writing another novel as I am anxious to read it. Kept me guessing.

I really liked the idea behind this story. The main character foresees death of people he loves after his own near-death experience. I didn't like the writing though, it was very clunky and could have done with a better edit..
