    <body><![CDATA[Sweet, short book that I read in one sitting.  I have mixed feelings about books with a strong dialect that are written for children.  This one was narrated by an Italian Swiss trying to speak English so many words were just off and the syntax was often mistaken.  It was cute and funny for me, but I...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75750569">more...</a>]]></body>

So the Angel's voice can get a bit obnoxious, but this story was so unexpected in the end, with its message about what makes an angel and what it means to be unfinished, that I was quite simply overjoyed.

    <body><![CDATA[This is the new Sharon Creech - a terrific children's author.  It was really pretty good.  At first I didn't like it much, but then I got in to it.  The reader has to get use to the language of the story....it's a very different tale.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Charming little book with an interesting narrative voice of an angel who speaks &quot;not so very good&quot; English.  Quick, 45-minute read for an adult, some of the references to the war and orphan refugees might get missed by a younger reader.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Just another lovely book from Sharon Creech. I love her writing and this, while different from my other favorites of hers, is really sweet. It reads almost like a fairy tale. I kept thinking the location was Italy, not Switzerland! ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[To enjoy this book to its fullest, you must read it with an Italian accent just like <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://sharonkaycreech.blogspot.com/2009/10/reading-scene-from-unfinished-angel.html">Sharon Creech does</a>.  The quirky voice of the angel just doesn't work with an American accent.  <br/><br/>I felt that this book was more of a character study than a story, but the angel was a delightful character t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64942937">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Another nice, unique book by Sharon Creech. It is told from the point of view of an angel whose language isn't very good, so it uses mixed-up words like &quot;impressified&quot; and my personal favorite, &quot;peoplealities.&quot; ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I am a huge fan of Sharon Creech. I hate to say it, but if this book had not been written by her, I don't think I would have finished it. A disappointing book for such a talented &quot;peoples&quot;. ]]></body>
