Customer Reviews

Good Book!

I really liked this book! I read it last year...but it's still vivid in my mind! Margaret Buffie has a really good sense of words and description! I couldn't put it down!

Angels Turn Their Backs

I liked this story because it explains what it would be like if your parents were divorced. And what would happen if Angels really turned thier backs. I think this wuold be a good book for some one to read, is because I think people will learn what it is like to have a family and than all of a sudden they split up. That is why I would recomend this book for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders.

Buffie still going strong

Angels Turn Their Backs is a slightly shivery telling of phobias and regrets. Woven beautifully and colourfully, this one has got to be one of Buffie's best works. It beats the earlier Who is Frances Rain? and rivals The Dark Garden in depth.

VERY awesome book!!!

This book was great because even though it was written by an older women (no offense Margaret)... it still seemed like it was from the view of a 15 year old! It just really kept my attention starting from the first page! I must have read that book in 2 hours! It's the best book I've ever read!!!

It's a totally great read!

This book takes a look at what it is like to have emotions that a young person simply can't deal with. I felt as if I was reading about a really good friend in trouble. You follow Addy through all her fears until she feels she can face the future. There are funny parts, too. Victor, the parrot made me laugh out loud. I read it in one day. It was wonderful!
