Book Reviews of Angel Landing
Book Review: One of the Best Books I've Had the Pleasure of Discovering.
Summary: 5 Stars
This was my first Alice Hoffman book and, hopefully, it won't be my last. If her other books are better than this--as noted below--then I have to be in for a serious treat! Why does the above reviewer have to regard this story as outdated? So are stories like the awful "classic" Catcher in the Rye, but that's okay?
Everyone agrees on one point: the character Minnie is strong, funny, delightfully pure of heart and full of honest conviction, but I found the dark love story of Natalie Lansky and Michael Finn equally moving and with a sweet ending full of promise. I was too young to understand the era from which stories like this came, but found the characters touching and the story involving to the end. Sure, Natalie was a horrible therapist, but that was pretty much implied from the first chapter of the book, and her unethical conduct with Finn only pointed that fact out more. Beside that, if you've ever seen the awful movie The Morning After, the novel looks a lot better in comparison. Knowing something about the era in which this book was written and regarding it as a historical period piece would most likely help increase your pleasure with this particular work.
Summary of Angel Landing
The bestselling author of Practical Magic offers "an affecting love story, laced with humor" (Booklist) that tells the tale of a man and a woman, an activist and a therapist, so consumed with helping others that they are in danger of failing in their duty to themselves. This is an unforgettable tale about the true meaning of commitment, from "one of our quirkiest and most interesting novelists." (Jane Smiley, USA Today)
