1.0 out of 5 stars Such a disappointment, 31 Dec 2008
A Kid's Review
This review is from: The Third Angel (Paperback)
The Third Angel was one of my book club's choices this year (2008). I had never read anything by Alice Hoffman and was assured that her work was good. However, the book was really hard going. It's in three parts but the structure of the books doesn't work. The mother of the son/fiancé who dies in the first section reappears as her younger self in trendy London and has a fling with a dissolute rock star. The supposed links between sections didn't work, and it was a chore to finish the book. If I hadn't been reading it for my book club, I would not have persevered. The only remotely interesting idea was that a man could be haunted by the ghost of his younger, different self. To conclude: it read like chick-lit with a supenatural twist, but the plotting was clumsy and the characters were undeveloped. I was assured that other books by Alice Hoffman were better than this, and I hope so, but I would be reluctant to try her again.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, 6 Aug 2008
By P. Monk - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Third Angel (Paperback)
I was so pleased when I found Alice Hoffman's latest book because I've read them all and love her stuff.This one is so poor that I can't believe it is by her.It's very superficial and empty - no characterisation and badly written. As the other two reviews say, it's chick-lit and not good at that.No sense of place and no depth to it at all.I'm finishing it to find the links, but have to keep going back to to check them.
I'm so disappointed - it sounded promising from the blurb. Should have been warned by the recommendation from Jodi Picoult!

1.0 out of 5 stars Lifeless and dull..., 1 Nov 2008
By LittleReader (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: The Third Angel (Paperback)
I am a huge fan of AH's work and so it is with regret that I have to say how much I disliked this novel.
In fact, 'dislike' is probably the wrong word as I think you have to feel passionately about something to experience this emotion and, unfortunately, passion is not in any way connected with this novel.

Dull, lacklustre, soul-less, looooong and so very far removed from Hoffman's usually graceful, often bordering on ghoulish, style. I couldn't get under the skin of the characters (they were wooden and lifeless) and the flow is stilted and confusing. I would also struggle to tell you accurately what the book is actually about as it spent such long periods sitting around waiting for me to have the heart to continue with it that I kept having to re-read portions for it to make any sense at all!
In fact, that's it - I'm double checking - was this really written by her? Try it and see what you think...

4.0 out of 5 stars 'The Third Angel' is good, but not Hoffman at her best...

Like its predecessor, Skylight Confessions, this is more like three interlinked novellas than one novel. This one, though, improves as you go through it. Read more
