2.0 out of 5 stars Very strong language from page one !!, 1 Mar 2004
By A Customer
Bought this book for a 12-year old on the strength of a review in the children's section of the Guardian. Within the first three pages were most of the swear words I could think of I'm no prude but this was over the top. My son said the book was "OK but a bit rude".

I guess there is a huge difference between a 12 year old and a 15 year old. I would not recommend this book for anyone under about 14 or 15.

4.0 out of 5 stars Loved it !, 23 Dec 2006
By Bethany and Lita (Cambridge, UK) - See all my reviews
Having read this book, I found it uplifting without being saccharine. It deals with the potentially off-putting concept of angels in a balanced and interesting way that will appeal particularly to teenage boys. The narrative is also well-paced and engaging.
