I used to love Anne Rice books, Queen of the Damned seriously influenced my perception of the world and religion in particular. But as she became more devote in her catholicism, the less I related to her books. This time, I thought I would give her another chance. Mostly just cause it was short, and not about vampires.
Angel Time is about a contract killer who gets tired of his life and is saved by an Angel who gives him a new calling. Plotwise... its weak. It's mostly about the killer's conversion from a believer-non-believer-sceptic-believer. His mission from god to save a Jewish family in the middle aged was random. And of course, it worked. She doesn't go into much detail about events in the story, just a brief overview of the events and reflects on the magnificence of god.
I was not a fan, I liked Toby (the killer's) humanity and want to see more of that rather than his spiritaul struggle. How does he become a better person? without an angel or a divine calling...
