Customer Reviews

I hated putting this down

This book was amazing. My family & coworkers are glad I finshed it because I wouldn't shut up about it. This book reminded me of several things I learned in Sunday school at church as a child. I felt as if I was in each scene spying on the character's and seeing things with my own eyes. I could feel the weather, hear the whisper's etc. Sometimes there was a little too much description but in those instances I felt as if Trussoni was just really passionate about her character's and scenes. I do hope this is turned into a movie or telvision series. I would definatley watch.

Angelology

I have just finished reading this book by Danielle Trussoni and I can thoroughly recommend it. It is a brilliantly written book and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Cannot wait for another of Danielle's books, but unfortunately, she has informed me I have to wait until 2012 for it. Graham Lovell

A Novel To Lose Yourself In

I usually read the odd fiction book to relax. And I usually only read historical fiction. However there are times when some novels just grab my attention or curiosity that I just can't help but read it. This was the case with this book. I read a review in the New York Times Book Review and I just wanted to read it. The story is a fascinating one. It is about the on-going war g between the Nephilim (fallen Angels who married daughters of men) and a secret society of Angelologists, who, for centuries, have been committed to keeping the Nephilim at bay. The Nephilim have become powerful and wealthy - owning corporations and involved with politics. However, the persistent union with humans have caused many Nephilim to contract a virus, or a disease which decays them slowly. Nothing can be done - expect for an angelic artifact - a lyre - which, according to legend, was dropped by the Archangel Michael when he cast the rebellious angels into their prison in the depths of the earth. This lyre, through its music, would restore those Nephilim under the virus. The angelic lyre also has immense power. The Nephilim will not stop until the lyre is in their position and the Angelologists will not rest until the lyre, which is has been hidden by the society, is destroyed. Trussoni writes a captivating story, even using some historical documents such as the Book of Enoch to build an incredibly convincing world of angelology , including a complex history. You almost believe that the professors and the society of angelologists are historical and real. I did not find this novel cringy. On the contrary, her descriptions of the angels are wonderfully detailed, and by no means is she mocking the idea of angels. She has cleverly taken the concept of angels and built an entertaining novel revolving around the idea of the Nephilim. She has obviously spent time in the Bible (Genesis 6 and Revelation), the Book of Enoch as well as Jewish Tradition and other writings about the angelic. While `God' or Jesus is, sadly, mostly absent, (the battle revolves around humans and angels) it is not entirely excluded. There is one scene in the book when the `mightiness' of heaven does appear. It does not appear enough for my liking, but Trussoni does not ignore it entirely I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and I quite lost myself in the story - which, after all, is the point of fun reading!

Great Audio Book !!!

I thought this was an intriguing novel....especially since the Nefilim theme is a favorite one of mine....Zak Sitchin... I think that I would have had to struggle with this particular point of view as a book....It's written with a very 18th century flair, ---- very dense, and it does plod...but as an audio book, these qualities give the story a definite setting atmosphere and tone. Plus when it begins to plod into the past...listening to it brings a lot of imagery that's ecletic. I recommend this book to be listened to more than read....and I gave it 5 stars as a listening piece of literature.

Humans Fight the Stout Co-mixtures

It's brilliant and thrilling antithesis of the commingling of heavenly creatures with men producing the charging Nephilim. Wow. Fast-paced, exciting, and a swift-page turner, Danielle Trussoni's Angelology takes you on a wild ride. This is fiction that entertains and lifts you into a startling adventure with good versus evil and those trying to live in-between. Help is on the way! In his Fictional excitement you get: - Spielberg-like exhilaration - Angelologists fighting the Nephilim - Multi-myths interlaced with biblical terminology - A rush of a read The noun "Nephilim" is a plural Hebrew word and Dajielle Trussoni utilizes it as a plural and a singular term as the Tenach (the Christian Old Testament) sometimes expresses it. This makes one ponder the co-utlimates of the "One and the Many" we find in all things material and immaterial in our reality as well as that which transcends our Cosmos. This book delights as it makes you ponder that which is essential. Look for sequels in the near future. The Necessary Existence of God: The Proof of Christianity Through Presuppositional Apologetics
