Angels....

^^j i thought there was divine interventions in this book. But through the middle of the book i realized the reason why the book was titled angels. Looks like, if people live in Los Angeles, they are often called "Angels".

Now, i wouldn't recommend this book if your happyly married or happily in a relationship, it will give you "what if" thoughts with your relationship. I think i bought this book when i was broken hearted and hated the thought of being in a relationship. The book started when Maggie realized that her husband was having an affair because of the comment he did on the chocolates she bought. Right there and then, she left him and went refuge to her parents house. Then later on flew to Los Angeles to spend some downtime with her best friend. There she tested new waters, and as the story is told in every page you will get to learn where her marrage started to crumble down. She had a miscarrage twice, and people are giving her thier sympathys and she had develop a self-pity attitude that she forgot that her hubby is also suffering from depression due to the lost. That drove him to have an affair. You might not agree that this is a valid reason to have an affair, but if you are depressed and someone takes notice of you and make you happy and do things for you to make you happy, an affair is not a surprise. Believe me, its not. A depressed person needs attention and loving care, again believe me, been there, done that.

Towards the end, i found maggie to be quite stupid. But i couldn't blame her, what can i say... shes a typical girl. I did fell sorry with the husband Garv. He really took care of her, he was very understanding even though he knew his wife still longs for her high school lover who disappeared on her and he thought this was the main reason that she choose to go to Los Angeles.

But in the end, they have reconciled. Understood each other. As the ending says, there is no perfect relationship. You will sometimes find your self fighting with each other. But what matters is that you remember your vows to each other. "To sickness and to health, through good times and bad, till death do us part."

The Ninth Circle

Genre:	Mystery & Thrillers
Author:	Alex Bell

i wasnt really planning to buy this book but reading the tittle from the bookshelves of Bestsellers a month ago, it caught my attention. The cover art was interesting as well. The author is unknown for as i read its summary from behind i found it this is the author's debut novel. Ah the ninth circle, the title has me interested it has a ring of Dante's inferno. The very poem of which countless novels/stories/movies has sprouted from. the most detailed account on what Hell might look like and how every sinner is being punished. Ah the very book i asked my mom to buy it for me and she gladly did for before i wouldnt even touch a book let alone read it. After reading it i have developed some fixation about everything that is written there
Anyway.. going back to this book... reading the back cover the story is about a man who woke up not knowing who he was.. no idea where he is and why in short he woke up on a pool of his blood having an amnesia. The writing on the back of the book promises a dark and morbid past to the main character of the book and for that it made me more interested by the book. But as i saw the price it was rather expensive but the book was calling me saying buy me and i couldnt resists its call so i end up buying the book.

And lol.... this book didnt disappoint me. The price was worth-it. *giggles* who would think i will be meeting demons and angels in this book... i thought the title of the book is figurative but hey... it is interesting. The author really researched about the demons and angels and i like the author's concept. The book was full of surprises. There was the time when i thought i already guessed the main character's true identity but reading towards the end i was proven wrong. This is the type of books i like to read. Books/stories that is unpredictable.

But beware if you read this book... it may change your view about angels and demons. If u asked me if my view was changed after i read this book. my answer is no. coz i totally agree on each and every argument in the book between good and evil. lol

i totally love this book, i consider it a gothic classic novel ^_^.

its like Gaiman and pratchet's Good omens minus the humor of it ^_^
