What Not To Read

Angelology by Danielle Trussoni.

This was the latest book I've read and I was extremely disappointed by the ending. The beginning started out interesting enough. Then the majority of the book delved into the past that would help explain the present-day storyline. Trussoni kept my interest with her fictional history of angelology and her detailed account of what had happened so many years ago that was necessary to know in order to appreciate the importance of the present-day storyline.

The last few chapters of the book came back to the present and I couldn't put the book down because I wanted to know how it was all going to pan out. I tend to read quickly when I'm really into a book and just about to finish it. I could feel my heart beating because the protagonist was caught in the middle of a compromising situation. I wanted her to come out on top (no one wants the main character to not make it.)

And then everything came to a screeching halt when I read the last page of the book. It was the worst ending I've read in a long time. I was shocked that Trussoni had chose this way to end her novel, because the rest of the book was so well organized, creative, well-written and obviously thought out. It was as if she wrote the ending on a whim and never looked back.

I can't say the entire book was a waste of time. But the ending definitely left me disappointed and hoping there is a sequel that will make up for the abrupt, uncreative and, in my opinion, unpopular ending.
