4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, Wierd and Confusing, 4 May 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Angela and Diabola (Paperback)
In this book twins are born. One is a beautiful angelic faced child but the other is a fiendish little brat.These children are given simple names but when they are taken to be christened something terrible happens. The vicar takes one look at the angelic child and calls her Angela meaning an Angel and he takes one look at the fiendish child and calls her Diabola meaning The Devil. The parents are astounded but they can't do anything and Angela and Diabola are the childrens names. Angela is a brillant child maybe a little quiet and shy but on the whole she is everything a parent could wish for, Diabola however is a red-faced, cheeky little monster who is so terrible that her parents lock her up in a cage like some poor animal. In the end a miracle happens and after all of the twists and turns of this story the family are happy. I think that this book is fab. It's a little confusing at times but it all becomes clear in the end. Anyone who is just looking for a good read should buy this book. I'm giving the book 4/5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Piece of Work, 26 Jun 2009
By M.T (london) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Angela and Diabola (Paperback)
I first read this book 10 years ago when I picked it out from my school's library, back then I found it very entertaining and even passed it on to my sister to read, who enjoyed it as much as I did. Reading it now I was able to enjoy the humor and the wonderfully written tale on a whole new level (being that much older and wiser) and it did not fail to disapoint.
This is a very entaining book that I would advise anyone to buy for their child and to even read themselves

1.0 out of 5 stars cannot recommend a purchase... so to speak, 15 Dec 2005
By Mrs. Sarah Robinson - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Angela and Diabola (Paperback)
of all the books my children have picked out of library and bookshop shelves to read, this is the first time I have felt compelled to submit a negative review. This story of one angel child, and one devil, is in my opinion too dark for children. I dont often take a book and finish it myself just to find out what happens because I dont like the way the story is going. The ending doesnt make it any better, honestly there are so many fabulous books around, I am not trying to force my kids (9 and 6) to read happy unrealistic fairy land stuff, but a few Jaqueline Wilson books do enough to settle the balance. There are so many wonderful books around for this age group. Another reviewer suggested early teens was the right age for this book, I hope by then my children will be reading something a lot more diverse and challenging.. so no, not sure of age group, or what role this really plays in kids literature. sorry to be prudish, spend your fiver on something less complicated.
