I loved it, beginning to end, I loved it. I read the reviews before me and I realized a lot of people didn't like it but I loved it. It's as with any other book, you may like or love it or absolutely hate it. It touched me because to this day I swear my father in law came to me in a dream holding my infant son shortly after my son passed away. When I tell people they look at me like I'm crazy and that's fine but I believe that my father in law wanted to being me comfort and let me know that he would take care of my son now that he had gone to heaven... I believe strongly in god and a life after our lives here on earth and I believe that angels are all around us.

This book came to us by chance at a time that my wife needed something to remember that life is just a small piece of the whole. Would have never read this one if we had not had to one night help the author jump start her vehicle. I absolutely loved this book. It made me cry and smile so many times.

Angels do exist

I really enjoyed the premise of this book. I do believe that our departed loved ones are always looking out for us. I did not care for the way Jeremi behaved towards Jeannie or really his overall behavior until he got the help he needed. I do wonder if things will have lasted between them once the baby arrived as well.

It took me a while to read this book, but it did make you stop & think about some things that happen & about "coincidences".

From the words of guardian angels, was all that kept coming to mind while I was reading this wonderful book. I was not surprised at the end to read that it was based on what has happened in the authors life. as you read the words that have been written there are many things that will jump out at you, that you have to stop and reread again and again. They are words that are being taught to a new angel but yet you can't help but think there's some answers there for you as well. It will make you reflect on the things that have happened in your life and the certain things that you know you must of had an angel there with you, if you were someone who has gone through any kind of loss you may find a lot of comfort in this book. I did.

This is a good FICTION book. It is meant to entertain, and it did. It would be nice to think that we do have guardian angels looking over us. That would explain a lot. The book did explain some about alcohol detox. I found that part interesting. This book is a quick, fun read. The thing that bothered me the most was the lack of editing in the last half. I am referring to the Kindle version here. The bad thing about "cut and paste" in word processing is that many times the words aren't deleted that need to be. Usually I can skim over subtle mistakes, but there were way too many to ignore. It definately interupted the flow of the story. The story line and character development would get 5 stars. The editor would get 1 star.

This book was good and can help you cope with losing someone. The opening sequence is rather emotional, but from there it's fine. I bet I would have liked the original raw version better. Since I am not a "religious" person there were parts that made me roll my eyes a few times and the idea that angels give up on their charges ticked me off. Why would they leave you when you need them the most? According to the Kindle version, the author rewrote the book to be more positive. Overall, the concept of the book and the plot were great and I recommend it to people who are grieving or those who believe in Angels.

I found this novel very emotional in places and well written, particularly the opening sequence, however other areas seemed to be awkward and repetitive. Generally the human interaction was very good and readable, but angel to angel seemed to be taken from an instruction manual, with little emotion. I also found occasional passages quite uncomfortable, but that is probably just me with my own convictions.
However, I thought the story well worth reading, and I can understand it being an inspiration to others.

While I enjoyed the idea behind this story and think that some of it could happen, I had a hard time getting past the writing. It feels like a story for adults but the writing style is juvenile. I kept being drawn out of the story by all the grammatical and spelling errors. Overall, though, I felt like this was a good tale.

Angel on board was a lovely story, a little more spiritual than I uasually read, but overall quite good. I thought it was better than just ok but would have chosen 2.5 stars if I could have. The spelling mistakes and grammatical errors were what pulled it down.

It was two books in one - one about angels and one about addiction recovery. It was just and okay book. Some major editing issues and the writing was simple. Would have liked more description of characters, places and events.

This was an amazing book. I have always believed that each of us has a guardian
angel to watch over us. This book put that theory into practice.

To the author - thank you for sharing your story.

This book left me wondering if we really have angels looking out for us like that. I had a hard time with the raw emotions at the beginning, but enjoyed the journey of this book.

Predictable, a bit to sappy and, I felt hammered God to us too much. Probably won't read other books by this author.

A look at what life after death may be like. Sometimes funny, sometimes frustrating, sometimes serious.
