The Dirty Streets of Heaven by Tad Williams

2.0

Mixed feelings. The story, which is about one of several earthbound angels trudging through his daily grind in his post-life job when the usual order is upset, isn't bad. And as he figures out what's going on, it becomes pretty intricate. But the writing is mediocre, the protagonist is pretty two-dimensional, and the few unnecessary sex scenes aren't just bad, they are extended. The ending is pretty unsatisfying, too -- not much is really wrapped up. First in a series, we'll see about reading more.

EDIT: We have seen about reading more, and the answer is no. Dropped a star to better reflect my feelings about the book.
