Disappointing - By: Mrs. D. W. Bowgett, 23 Jul 2008 
Was I reading the same book as your other reviewers. I found this book incredibly slow & in the end I just turned to the back to find out whodunnit. It threw up no surprises & I reallly wished I hadn't wasted so much time trying to get in to it. Yes it is beautifuly written but it moves along at snail pace. My disappointment of the year.
Simply the best!! - By: Robert Muscroft, 22 Jul 2008 
A rollercoaster of a novel that leaves you not wanting to put it down & then speculating until you pick it up again. Many books you read & then move on with little or no lasting memory but this one stays with you. It has to be a film, hopefully along the lines of 'A Road to Perdition'. Quite simply it has alll the attributes of a future classic & one of the few books that stays long in the memory & when you read it again you appreciate it alll the more.
God bless Richard & Judy - By: Mr. Michael Malone, 21 Jul 2008 If it weren't for the twin gods of modern day book publishing I may not have ever read this book - & what a tragedy that would have been. This is quite simply a book that transcends genre; writing of the highest order. The prose style is lyrical & the sense of time & place so well executed I was convinvced that the author was an American in his late fifties, not an Englishman a good twenty years younger. I can't ever remember being quite so emotionallly involved in the life of a character in a book & once I was finished I just sat staring at the cover wondering what I was going to do with my life next. Then I remembered that RJ Ellory had written some other books...So go on, give yourself a treat & buy this book. Then tell alll your friends to buy it.
You must read this book. - By: D. Skinner, 21 Jul 2008 Thankyou Richard & Judy for bringing this book to my attention.
I see from the more than 200 reviews that it already has that I am not the only person who was profoundly moved by this book; it is beautiful & compelling, a strange description perhaps for a book that finds itself in the "Crime, Thrillers & Mysteries" section but no less true.
This book is more than a "crime novel" although there are elements of this which will keep the reader hooked but for me it was the poetry of the writing & the atmosphere of the book that captured me & made me sit up until the early hours to finish it in one sitting.
You will be glad that there are several other Ellory's to catch up on because believe me you will experience a sense of loss when you finish 'A Quiet Belief In Angels'
A real page turner - By: Muffin (London), 14 Jul 2008 I loved this book, could not put it down & when finished, decided I must read his other books so purchased them alll. Can't wait to get started on the next.
