The Last of the Angels



I can't stop reading this book, yet I can't seem to finish it either. Instead, I find myself crawling through it page by page waiting for the slightly monotonous magical realist tale set in post World War II Iraq to come to a close. Many fascinating characters are housed within the pages of The Last of the Angles, but overall the book smacks of something intended for a middle aged ladies' book club.

So you love the characters, but the plot plods and has sort of a middle aged spread? Yet you want to finish it? Interesting.

When you finish will you give us the final comments?

p.s. I tagged you and I'm sorry but I had to do it. I forgave the author who tagged me, so I'm hoping in this season of forgiveness you will do the same. Please.
