5.0 out of 5 stars Haunting, beautifully-written, 3 May 2004
By ILONACAT (WIRRAL, ENGLAND) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Green Angel (Hardcover)
I had heard Alice Hoffman recommended as one of the best writers around. . .and I can see why. In this fairly short, very simply and beautifully written novel-marketted as Young Adult but appropriate for almost anyone with a soul-Hoffman doesn't put a foot wrong. Green, the central character, is left to fend for herself when her parents and sister go off to the city one day and get swallowed up in some horrendous disaster. Society itself breaks down-teenagers roam around, half-starved, often drunk, traumatized,making do as best they can. Green has the company of one dog, a dog that was really her sister's. Then she encounters a ghostly white dog who follows her home, then a boy who has lost the power of speech. It's an engrossing read. It reminded me in some respects of Peter Dickinson's The Changes-the once-familiar landscape turned anarchic by things beyond one's control, and how peope cope(or fail to cope) in that landscape.
Highly recommended. I'm off to read some more Alice Hoffman.

5.0 out of 5 stars Never read anything quite like it., 27 Oct 2003
This review is from: Green Angel (Hardcover)
I bought green angel after reading a review about it in a book shop. Taking it home i didn't really know what to expect. I was not dissapointed. It is wonderfully written and deeply moving throughout the book.
I literally did not put it down and I read it in one sitting, I had to find out what happened in the end.
The story is set around a girl who faces many difficulties and has to learn to survive in a world that has become hostile and desperate.
It is brilliantly written and I haven't read anything quite like it before. The style of the writing was supprising but extremely well done. I would recomend this book to be read by adults as well as younger people even though it was in the childrens section. There isn't really anything childish about the book and it would suit all types of readers. Highly recomended if you are after something different and moving!

5.0 out of 5 stars Short but satisfying., 1 May 2007
By kehs (Hertfordshire, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Green Angel (Hardcover)
A fantastic modern day fairy tale, filled with hope and determination of spirit. Fifteen- year old Green loses all of her family in a terrible fire and retreats into herself, becoming reclusive and wary of others. However, a series of strange meetings with both people and animals show her the way forwards, and slowly she begins to heal from her grief.

A short read but nonetheless incredibly satisfying. This tale will make you realise that life should be savoured and never taken for granted
