5.0 out of 5 stars The Angels Will Not Care, Dec 18 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Angels Will Not Care (Mass Market Paperback)

Like Many others I have read all of John Straley novels. Being a former Sitka resident I find the novels very interesting. I do not think that you have to be an Alaskan to enjoy these books. The characters that are written about are written in a way that allows one to really experience them. The stories are believeable and one gets really drawn in with the stories. Straley is a great storyteller and spins a tale or two. I do not suggest you read only this book, but all of Straley's novels. These books will leave you with a since of longing to travel to the Great Land

5.0 out of 5 stars Want to go on a cruise?, Sep 17 2001

By	lvkleydorff (CT. USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Angels Will Not Care (Mass Market Paperback)

The author takes us to his native Alaska and describes it in beautiful, engrossing detail. We learn about the little town of Sitka, and we learn about the people, the fauna and the bears.

We then take a cruise on an old rustpot: two weeks through the islands, entertainment and mystery included. Straley knows how to portrait people so that they come alive in front of your eyes. But he also has a sense of humor, writing about a sex adventure that has to be the funniest you have read in a long time.

What about the mystery? It has to do with too many people dying on this ship's cruises. To say more would give it away. Suffice it to say that it starts out well and then becomes befuddled.

Still, it is a good book to read.

I have spent some time in Sitka and love it but what keeps me waiting for another Cecil Younger book is the way Straley creates his characters. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A well written, wonderful story.
John Straley's characterizations and beautiful descriptions always appear fresh and unselfconscience. I've read all his books to date and I think this is one of his best. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Big Disappointment
This book was a real disappointment. The characters are one-dimensional, the "mystery" obvious, and the relationships unbelieveable. Read more
