Until Angels Close My Eyes

---

It definitely sucked that Neil died. I felt I liked the second one better but this one was okay. I felt bad for Leah on that front just because she didn't have a dad until Neil came along. Anyway, not my favorite book but still okay just the same. Dec 22, Quirah Casey rated it it was amazing Shelves: So let me start by telling you why I rekindled with this trilogy.

Back in middle school I was addicted to Lurlene McDaniel books, it made me see things differently. Her books didn't always ha happy endings. She told a truthful story. I read the first book of this trilogy and it left me with a smile on my face. I didn't get a chance to finish the second and first. So right now I'm attempting to read as many books as I can over break since I won't have a chance when school starts up.

Mar 05, Samantha Pollum rated it it was amazing. The entire series is wonderful and it was about time I reviewed it. Even after almost a decade since I last read this book, I still remember it with great clarity, having read it so many times back when I was a pre-teen.

Funnily enough, this was actually the first book of the series that I read. I was in about the sixth grade and at our local mall in the bookstore and my great-grandpa bought me a Once again I was in about the sixth grade and at our local mall in the bookstore and my great-grandpa bought me a book, whichever one I wanted, and I picked this one out. So after I finished it and found out there were more, I went back to read the first two, then reread this one. This book is actually my favorite of the trilogy.

And once again, if you read this: Just have an entire box ready! Mar 16, Jessica rated it liked it Recommended to Jessica by: Having enough to deal with, Ethan wants to find his older brother who left him when he was young. I thought the ending of this book was a little sad yet preposterous because Ethan and Leah overcame most of the problems that they faced but decided to follow their religions which lead to a break up.

However, the epilogue where the little girl, Cindy gave Leah the little white feather was very symbolic of how much she had to face since her trip to the hospital. Therefore, even though the ending is sad, it was a good way to end the book. Apr 26, Brittany Durrant rated it it was amazing.

And then her dad dies.

Even though it dealt with some teen issues that This book is about a girl who almost died of cancer. Even though it dealt with some teen issues that are important, I think I would much rather recommend a Sarah Dessen novel to the teen girls I know than this one in order to read and think about some of these issues.

The last book in the Angels Trilogy and the perfect ending. Not saying it was a "perfect ending" but the third book was no doubt as good as the first.

I mean, yes, it was very sad that Neil died, and I also didn't like when Ethan told Leah that he was going home. I wish that he would've stayed with Leah.
