Product Description

Jill Murphy, THE BOOKBAG

'What a book. I simply couldn't put it down... a highly charged and intensely romantic look at personal spirituality... the writing is effortless and as it slips between character perspectives, Angel never loses an air of authenticity. And at moments it reaches the sublime, I loved it.'


Review

'This unusual fantasy about a girl who, obsessed with angels, actually finds she is one, is made plausible by a very strong depiction of the underpining pattern of teenage anxieties and everyday angst.' (Lesley Agnew THE BOOKSELLER )

'stands out for its original subject and plot... Each book takes McNish into new territory, and this one is both assured and thought-provoking.' (Nikki Gamble THE BOOKSELLER )

'What a book. I simply couldn't put it down... a highly charged and intensely romantic look at personal spirituality... the writing is effortless and as it slips between character perspectives, Angel never loses an air of authenticity. And at moments it reaches the sublime, I loved it.' (Jill Murphy THE BOOKBAG )

'McNish vividly portrays two worlds in the light of eachother, creating a thin space between two worlds that makes for a moving and thought provoking tale.' (Huw Thomas BOOKS FOR KEEPS )

'If you love stories about friendship, this one's a must!' (BLISS )

'McNish's outstanding prose is married to a suspenseful plot and a quiet humour that will appeal to 13+. Hallelujah!' (Amanda Craig THE TIMES )

'Haunting and thought provoking.' (CY MAG )

'Tense, quirky and highly individual, this story has plenty going for it.' (Nicholas Tucker TES )

'A neat combination of teenage angst and behavioural ethics... engaging' (THE DAILY TELEGRAPH )

5.0 out of 5 stars Rhian Owen's review, 29 Dec 2007
This is a fantastic book! I couldn't put it down! Let your emotions run wild with this book - freeze in terror, laugh with joy and grin from ear to ear at the sheer magic of the writing. A must-read. Anyone who hasn't read this book is really missing out. Well done Cliff McNish on producing such a spectacular masterpiece.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a really good book, 3 May 2009
This review is from: Angel (Paperback)
"Two Girls are inextricably linked by destiny, not choice. Stephanie a friendless misfit who believes strongly in angels and, Freya who can't stop seing angels and really doesn't want to.

When one of those angels begins stalking her, Freya is forced to make decisions from which there's no turning back."

I really, really liked this book, I found the popular girls at thier school quite wearing, and thought Freya made some bad choices, but I also understood why she chose the options she did.

When it got into the part about the angels and what they did - I thought it was really quite moving.

I liked it so much I just bought a signed hardback copy, and the ghost story "Breathe".

5.0 out of 5 stars Angel, 5 April 2008
By Izzy (England) - See all my reviews
I loved the fantasy meets reality, with the clichés at school and the socially weird yet with angels. I really wish there was a sequel book as i really want to know what happened-did Stephanie learn Freya was an angel, does the Dad die or not and is Amy Carr yesterdays news?

5.0 out of 5 stars A spellbinding novel
When I bought 'Angel', I was not expecting it to be as good as McNish's Doomspell Trilogy and Silver Sequence, but having read it would go almost as far as to say that it... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice, hopeful story.
Like the reworking of angel mythology, and the overall positive message. The plot's otherwise a bit too predictable, though.
