The Reapers Are the Angels
by Alden Bell
The Reapers Are the Angels utterly surprised me. Most post-apocalyptic books follow a tirelessly predictable pattern: loner hero goes on a journey that somehow enables him or her to bring the world back from destruction. I picked up this book thinking it would be a quick and easy read.I was only partially right. It was a fast read, but mostly because I was engrossed in the story and the language. The Reapers Are The Angels is not what I would call an easy read. For most of the novel, I was at the uneasy place that is the crossroads between disturbed and intrigued. Alden Bell captures the nature of a dystopia and the the people in it. You'll like Temple, even as you struggle to figure out her motives. The language Bell chooses fits perfectly if you're trying to explain God in such a dark and distressing place.
There are zombies, but its not a zombie novel - it's a compelling story of a human journey to reconcile faith, life, and ever-present tragedy and danger.
