Deepak Chopra's The Angel is Near

Deepak Chopra's The Angel is Near Review

This is the sequel to Deepak Chopra's "Lords of Light". Both are written in the form of a fiction novel, where the story line serves a dual purpose of both conveying a spiritual lesson as well as entertainment.

The story itself revolves around an angel that came to earth in Kosovo, and the workings of the government, the angel herself, a New Age writer and a few other colorful personalities to understand the mission and the message. I found the story to be a bit disjointed, but entertaining. The ending of the book felt rushed after Deepak carefully developed the characters and story line over the preceeding 275 pages or so.

The spiritual message is powerful, and is contained in the text of the story itself, as well as "interludes" that Chopra refers to as the "Angel's Voice". However, like the story itself, this format makes the message a little disjointed.

Taken as a whole, the book is reasonably entertaining and conveys a powerful message reasonably effectively. In that in rated four stars. I felt "Lords of Light" was both better written and more entertaining as a novel, and should probably be read prior to this one to provide some helpful (but not necessary) background on some major characters.
