The Book Of Uriel by Elyse Hoffman


Different.

Ok so I skip genres etc a lot but for historical WWII I have read a few and I was intrigued by this book being young adult. I didn't realise just how different it would be though and was pleasantly surprised. 

This took Angels into a story of a horrific time giving a boy the ability to stay invisible from most of those who would hurt him. He has this ability so he can find a lost angel but has to undergo various tasks. Knowing this later I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did. 

While religious elements it wasn't a religious book. It did take me some time to get used to the writing style used and I found it a little slow or unsure at the beginning but the story and characters had that not being a problem and kept me intrigued to the end.

I definitely think this was a unique read for me and it would be one I would recommend for others for sure. I'm very interested in what concepts the author may come up with for other books.
