Broken Angel

by Sigmund Brouwer



07/08/09

I thought this book had an interesting premise, but I felt as though I spent the whole time waiting to figure out why I should care about what was happening. The characters were very two-dimensional, to the point where there were times where I couldn't figure out whose point-of-view the story was being told from. (The frequent point-of-view changes didn't help with that either.)

I felt as though this book would have been a lot better if it were a couple hundred pages longer. there was a lot to the plot that could have been fleshed out more fully which, I think, would have resulted in a more enjoyable book.
