The Fallen By Thomas E. Sniegoski
(Book 1 in The Fallen Series)

The day Aaron turns 18, he begins to have weird dreams and understand and talk al different kinds of language, and Aaron now thinks he is going insane. Aaron hasen´t had a easy life, he has no friends and he is a foster kid, who has bounce from one foster home to another, but he lives at a good one now. Then Aaron meets Zeke, a fallen angel, who tells him that Aaron is a Nephilim, the son of a mortal and an angel, and that he has the faith to redeem the Fallen. Aaron think that, that sounds absolutly crazy and dismisses Zeke. But then Aaron meets Camael, former member of "The Powers" who is here to protect Aaron and he believes to that Aaron is the savior, they have been waiting for. Slowly Aaron begins to deal and accept that he indeed is the savior. But not before Verchiel and "The Powers" finds him, his foster parents dead, his foster little brother´s kidnapning. And Aaron leaving the school, his crush Vilma and everything to persuit, his brother and his faith.

The book is written from Aaron, Verchiel and Camael and Zeke´s point of view, but i only fund it intresting when we hear about Aaron. The book doesn´t get much into the story in this first book, The book is a lot about Aaron having strange things happening to him and weird things told to him. I found this book a little boring and it is not because i don´t like the story and i really like the movies, which is not much different from the books. There is some fun in the book too (esspecially from the dog Gabriel), like the thing with How the angels learned the womens about make-up. I found that one quite funny, But that is because of the way i feel about make-up. And The powers(angels)sees people as animals, and uses them as slaves with leashes, that´s a really strong feeling that they actually sees people like that. I think that the author has been good at making things real, so you feel that they are real, like you really feel The powers anger against people and how Aaron is feeling. My favourite character is definently Gabriel, he is fun, sweet, stupid and a dog. So you just got to love him. The book leaves us with a cliff-hanger, so you will want to pick up the next, esspecially since the story in the first doesn´t evolve much. There is also 2 other covers for this book.
