4.0 out of 5 stars Story of a rich girl, October 15, 2002

By

This review is from: Halo: An Angel's Story (Paperback)

I think this story is a repeat of every "rich girl with parents who don't love her" tale. This story starts out with a young boy dieing, then shows him in the 1960's at a funeral of a woman he used to watch over. It then fast forwards to the 1970's and into the life of a young girl named Robin, who has filthy rich parents, who depend on the maids to take care of their child. As the story progresses, one can see that the story begins to focus more on the evils of life, which are shown through children, adults, and teenagers. As Robin grows up, hanging out with the wrong crowds, etc., her guardian angel is always there to defend her from the evils of life. To bad that at end, she dies from an overdose of Esctasy in a hotel room in the early '80's. Finding her, in what is supposed to "Hell" he goes to find her. The end. It shows how different family and friends can be through the ages, but it's a story that's been heard before.
