The idea of taking material from so many great sources and putting it together to form a cohesive picture of what actually happened regarding the interaction of fallen angels and watchers with mankind was what made this book so attractive to me. Much of the material is accurate and if you know nothing about the subject, it could awaken you to continue researching this fantastic topic. Unfortunately, I found this book a disappointment.

The book quotes from many sources, yet there is not one footnote. Bible quotations are made without citations. There are errors made in proofreading. One serious error occurs on page 44, the author's note states that 70 generations of 500 years = 3,500 years. I believe he mean't 70 generations of 50 years = 3,500 years. Finally, in some areas, the subject and time period being discussed changes radically from paragraph to paragraph.

I have studied Scripture for 30+ years and read Enoch, Jubilees, Jasher, the lost books of the Bible and numerous other sources. In my opinion, anyone desiring to understand this topic and in turn what is driving the madness in the world today should read the original sources, starting with the the Book of Enoch. The other books mentioned above are good also but the Book of Enoch belongs in the library of every person who understands the Bible to be God's word.

In short, if you are new to the topic, this book will probably wow you. However, I recommend going right to the source and buying the Book of Enoch.

Although the preface sets up an interesting precept, the combined narrative should have been trimmed and modernized, with more citations and internal analysis, to provide the book with more credibility as a scholarly work.

The book looks like it was printed off on a Macintosh inkjet printer, with plates shot from those pages, and the book thus printed (instead of typeset).

This looks almost like a self-published book, and once the author starts compiling apochrypa, it becomes very difficult to read. I'm sorry, but I can't believe that God is such a poor writer that all of his scriptures read like they were written by a third-grader.

I would rather consult books which provide the text of Enoch 1 and 2, Jasher and Jubilees, and draw my own conclusions, instead of being led by the hand by a haphazard compilation of allegedly ancient sources.

I'm sorry, but this was a very disappointing journey into poorly-written metaphysics.

I thourghly enjoyed reading the book "Fallen Angels Watchers,and the Origins of Evil". It was one of those books when you start reading it,it is hard to put down.I feel he has touched on a subject that would be very relavent today due to the fact of the hight that Evil had grown to today.I feel that this book is a very good read and worth the time one takes out of one's busy life to expand their knowledge of the Spirit World.I feel this would be very profitable.

Not what I expected. This book seems to be a mesh of various excerpts from several sources put together all not to well. I will Definetly search for another book on Angels with the hope that I find something a lot more indepth. If you are seeking a book along a Christian/Biblical "scriptual line"--then don't waste your money and time.

This is a must read if you are ever going to understand what is happening today. For the biblical worldview this book fills in the gaps of the christian story. I now understand why the book of Enoch was left out or the cannon of scripture and why it is a must read also. The watchers are mentioned in scripture especially the book of Daniel.I ordered the electronic version first then ordered the book to give some copies away.

i had been thinking of writing a simular book with all the creation books ,creating a seamless time-line story , looks like i wont need to ,

This is a book I loan out to people over and over again. Clear explanations of so much. I love the effort and research this author puts into his work!

tells why we have evil in this world and where it came from. Goes beyond just satan or the devil. Explains Angels in general and where they all came from. This is explained in the other books left out of the Bible also.

Fallen Angels, the Watchers, and the Origins of Evil is an interesting compilation of scripture and texts that reference the subjects of the angels that fell from God's grace and what became of them and their descendants. Mr. Lumpkin's book is written in a readable, yet thought-provoking style with well-documented sources. This book is a "must-read" for those who are researching the topic of angels!

This very short summary is well-suited for those who desire a quick and dirty version of The Book of Enoch, The Book of Jasher, and some supportive quotations from actual scripture. Although the publishing format appears rather cheap, it doesn't diminish from the main theme of the book.
