Angelology by Danielle Trussoni


2011
04.19

“A clever fast paced thriller. . . That’s what it says on the cover, not fast paced until the last 75 pages.
A good idea but not sustained to keep the reader interested.
Oh the plot! Humans are good – Angels are evil – end of story. Wait for the mini series on TV.

Score 4/10

Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer

03.25

“A riveting expose which presents the gut-wrenching truth about the price paid by the environment and animals themselves to put meat onto our tables…
Or another book banging on about animal cruelty?
Being a reformed veggie I know most of the details he is reporting so perhaps this is for those who mindlessly eat animals without understanding what/how it appears on our dinner tables.
Good author but I’d read his fiction rather than this.

“Another average debut novel which comes with a lot of hype.
The story is that one sister goes missing and then is discovered dead, but was she murdered?
Maybe I’m being a bit mean here.

“Began well when our protagonist goes to the wrong funeral. As a result he inherits a fortune.
This turns him into a bit of a git. So far so good. The transition to a caring person is far to clunky. He gets it back on track until he needs to finish, back to clunky.

Score 4.5/10
