Comment: Gentle Reader, this book may or not please you. This sample of text might help you decide:

Summary: A unique premise. . .
Comment: . . .and a unique perspective help make this novel by controversial Catholic priest Fr. Andrew M. Greeley quite enjoyable.
As stated in other reviews, there are elements of Fr. Greeley's theological viewpoint in which I find myself in sharp disagreement. But there is no doubt that he is an outstanding storyteller.
In this book, Greeley ventures into the realm of Science Fiction with the introduction of the amazing character of Dr. Gabriella Light, PhD. -- the angel Gabriel, no less -- as a personal guide for the lapsed Dr. Sean Desmond on his trip to Sweden to pick up the Nobel Prize. It seems that terrorists are after Dr. Desmond because of the potential implications of his scientific discoveries.
Fr. Greeley's style is not for everybody. He dabbles a little to far into the erotic than might be considered strictly appropriate for a celibate clergyman. His incorporation of his criticisms of modern Catholicism into his books can serve as a turn-off.
BUT, Fr. Greeley is a great storyteller in the old Irish tradition. His imagination is incredible. And his fundamental faith in the goodness and grace of God is inescapable.
For me, this is one of his best offerings.
Rating: 5
Summary: I loved this book!
Comment: I read Angel Fire as a library book and loved it enough to buy it after the fact. A charming, funny, entertaining novel.
