2.0 out of 5 stars Good Idea, 29 Mar 2011

By

Bob (UK) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE) (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Jerome and the Seraph (Quantum Cat) (Kindle Edition)

This starts so well with a friar being killed in an accident and then reaches the afterlife, the idea is good and would work well if there was a plot that lead anywhere, unfortunately after this very little happens, it is a well written story with the characters and locations being well described but the story could almost be the day by day story of dead and alive friars and a cat that that can talk to the dead. The other thing that I do not like is that this seems to be a serial, I don't mind series where books can be read as a standalone but this one just stops and probably continues in the next of the books. I will read the next one but only if it is a free download.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended for the whole family, 8 Dec 2004

By

Allbooks Review (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Jerome and the Seraph (Paperback)

Genre: Fantasy/Literary
Jerome and the Seraph
AUTHOR: robina williams
Brother Jerome slips in the graveyard, hitting his head with a thud. Later he finds himself in a rather strange place accompanied by a dear old friend that he knows is deceased. The situation is most abstruse as there are no cherubs, no angels, no fluffy clouds- none of his expectations of beyond; he soon accedes to his irreversible situation. His greatest surprise is the arrival of his beloved cat, Leo in the afterworld. Leo, who we learn is actually Quant, the cat/lion alter ego, it seems, can travel at will between the two worlds being both alive and dead.
Jerome's ingrained beliefs are challenged, as he learns the answers to life long spiritual questions. He comes face to face with the hound of Heaven as the trill of Pan's flute fills the air.
Brother Jerome and his cohorts, both living and dead are most enchanting characters. Full of human frailties and believable character flaws, they charm the reader with their humorous encounters and escapades.
The author makes reference to several nineteenth century paintings including St. Jerome in the Wilderness, adding a touch of refinement and artistic interest to the book. Amusing, entertaining and charming, Robina Williams has a winner with her bumbling friar and his amazing ginger.
The author lives in north- west England and has an M.A in Modern Languages. This book is the first in the Quantum cat series; she has finished her second book Angelos and is working on the third.

Highly recommended, this reviewer looks forward to the next book in the series. Shirley Roe, Allbooks Reviews.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nice concept, shame about the plot, 11 April 2011

By

Grahame Gardner (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Jerome and the Seraph (Quantum Cat) (Kindle Edition)

The concept has everything going for it, but it is wasted in here. The book spends far too long exploring the possibilities of the scenario that such niceties as a plot have been completely forgotten.
It's a mildly entertaining exposition on a 'what-if' nature of life and death theme, woven around some obscure references to paintings and some tediously over-long discourses on theology; but there is absolutely no storyline to engage your interest or make you care about the characters. The cat was the most interesting character in it.
A complete waste of time.

2.0 out of 5 stars Waiting for something to happen
Not every book has to be full of action, but I reached the end of this book thinking, "Is that it?"
