I reached the end of this book with a feeling that there was more left out of the dialogue than was actually there; a truncated approach to writing as it were.I wanted to get involved but the choppy nature of the writing left me confused and distracted. The idea itself was brilliant. Unfortunately the execution was flawed. Pseudo theological themes only work if the structure surrounding it has strong unambiguous support that is understood by anyone reading it.An agnostic like me with religious undertones in my background will only accept that Michael will return if the arguments underpinning the premise are strong. Unfortunately his resurrection read as mere 'flim flam' and his revenge on the acolyte's was just plain weird. Even the title was off in that there were only the bones of one angel in the story line.It will take a lot of very positive reviews to get me to read the next instalment. Peter Eerden
