Anatole France (1844 - 1924) was a French poet, journalist, and novelist who wrote several best sellers. The Revolt of the Angels is a mischievous take on the theology of modern society; it chronicles the thoughts of Arcade, a lowly guardian angel, as he discovers the ugly truths of his divine master in the library of his human charge. As Maurice, the young man abandoned by Arcade, struggles to get his guardian back, one gets a view of a wide variety of the author’s artistic personalities, most of whom are fallen angels. The Revolt of the Angels is a clever and unconventional comedy with profound views on politics, religion, and human nature.

This Story is captivating and relatable. And the reader takes great care making the story come to life and , in my opinion, is easier to listen to than the mono tone reader of the same book

Great Reading And Great Story

I love this book. The narration was pretty strong for a book with a lot of French elements. The story seems to wander a bit but the last few chapters close beautifully.

Short and Fantastic

The beginning chapters are _dry_, but there's a reasonable uptick through the middle and a satisfying, and well reasoned ending.
I'll never understand how so much of French Lit can be be all at once dry, and melodramatic.
Still, without being egregiously moralistic, this delivers an important and poignant message on the duality of Nature.

The narration was... interesting. I didn't much care for it at first, but then it grew on me. When I realized that he sounded VERY similar to Ron Howard's narration in "Arrested Development", my opinion flipped and I decided it was fantastic and an amusing addition to the story

Worth It

A new perspective on the "other". So refreshing and I can't wait to re read and re listen.

Everything

Disappointing because this is supposed to be a great novel!
