4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent fusion of themes, March 20, 2005

This review is from: The Book of Lost Innocence (Paperback)

The Book of Lost Innocence is a skilled blend of religious allegory with a backdrop of a fantasy drama. Short and to the point, the tale quickly launches into symbolic themes of mortal fallibility, redemption, and the impossibility of perfection amidst a modern story of angels walking among mortals, struggling to find their own places in an imperfect heaven and earth. The ending is sudden and shocking, revealing that even the greatest of creatures can possess crippling flaws while the worst of creatures may still possess redeeming virtues, ultimately leaving the reader pondering his or her own moral compass in our own imperfect world.

This review is from: The Book of Lost Innocence (Paperback)

While I'm generally not interested in symbolism or literary devices, I greatly enjoy a good fantasy novel, and the story presented in The Book of Lost Innocence was an enjoyable read. I finished the book in one sitting and found myself relating to the moral symbolism presented by the story simply due to the author's integration of ideals. I was captivated by the characters and their interactions. Regardless of a reader's personal or religious interests, the story is engrossing and very well written.
