An Angel Box is a riviting thriller that evokes sympathy and courage at the same time. It carries the reader into the depths of the characters like nothing else I've ever read. Just when you think you've figured it out, Denny Youngblood's masterful writing presents another twist, one that will have you turning the pages wanting more. He weaves compassion, fear, humor, and love throughout this must read! I recommend it to everyone. Great job!
This is a tightly-woven story with a little boy named Harrison Thurston in the center of it. Though he is a Down's syndrome child, at the age of 12 he is forced to deal with and confront evil at its worst. This evil goes by the name of "Cellie".

When he and Cellie meet face to face, Harrison's life changes dramatically. The ending is heart-wrenching, s...more
Denny Youngblood is a definite weaver of words. The intensity that he writes made me smile, cringe, laugh, and read with one eye open....this is a must read if you like thrillers. I love how you never know what An Angel Box is until the END of the book! Great job!

I couldn't put this book down. I found it was one of those that tempted me to jump to the end so I could just find out what was going to happen already! A captivating read!
A chilling thriller of a novel. Denny crafts one of the most evil characters I've ever read, then turns him loose on small-town Oklahoma. A great read!
This is the First time reading a book like this and I must say I love it. I felt like I got to know the characters and as I finish each chapter I just had to know what happend next. Definatly going to read it again. Good thing I have a sign copy with my name. I cant wait for his next books. Please write one soon.
An Angel Box is a fantastic thriller!!! Can't wait for his sequel to be out...
An Angel Box was so thrilling and such a page-turner! It was the best book I have ever read; kept my interest through the entire book! Denny is such a talented author.
loved this book!!!
