Lots of information, but where are the illustrations?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 19, 2002

Call me crazy, but a few pictures would have made a world of difference in this book. That's the ONLY complaint I have about this easy to read, easy to carry, easy to love book on angel errata.
My boyfriend knows about my freakish obsession with angels, and suggested I buy this. He was actually right for once! I found that this book has tons of information, summarized neatly and cross referenced with different spellings of names (in case you're hung up on one in particular). I liked that the author bolded certain important passages, so you knew just what to look for when skimming.
I also liked that the author included next to the names of the angels the meaning of their names (as in Naamah means 'pleasurable').
The appendix and bibliography actually have a ton of information in there as well (just in case you weren't looking!). Cross referenced are all the mentions of angels from the Bible, Koran, and other religious works, as well as a listing of Renaissance paintings dealing with angels.
Well worth the money.

Not really worth your time

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 19, 2014

Verified Purchase

This book was VERY okay--not as good as the angel dictionary written by Gustav Davidson. My beef with this book was how she had entries in it that had some loose connection to angels, such as the Divine Comedy, by Dante Alighieri--I don't know about why others want to read this book, but I was in it to learn about more angels, not movies or poems about them.

Excellent research and cross-referencing. A treasure chest of information. An excellent dictionary on angels. Much can be learned about angels from this work. Easy to read and understand. Very enlightening.

its ok

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 20, 2014

Verified Purchase

the book is full of information on the names of many angels and some of their functions but it does not go into much detail concerning how they interact with humanity enough so that I can understand the phenomenon, as a book on a list of angel names it is adequate but if I want a more in depth book I'i have to look else where.mrs ward

Interesting, passable read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 10, 2016

Another for my collection - some interesting information. Not the the most accurate Angel encyclopedia as some of the details are incorrect but there's lots to read that isn't always included in similar books.
