Editorial Review: Product Description: "Jakob Wywialowski and the Angels" is a charming short story about a man who is experiencing a celestial infestation of sorts; he is having trouble keeping his attic angel-free. It may amuse you if you are the kind of person who finds this sort of thing amusing. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Cute, but not a feel-good storyVery nicely crafted short. Places the reader in the story nicely. Cute, but does not have a feel-good ending. Certainly worth getting. Rating: - A fun and easy readIt's not the greatest story ever written, but it is fun and has a sense of humor. If you have 10 minutes and 49 cents, go for it. (But don't expect a masterpiece on the order of The Time Traveler's Wife!) Rating: - Every great idea begins with a spark......though I'll second some of the thoughts of author Niffenegger's previous reviewers and merely say that perhaps Audrey could have let this one play out a little longer?

And if this story had been made freely available, (on a blog perhaps) I probably would be less criticial. But for half the price of an iTunes music ... Read More Rating:  - Very funny, very good short storyI just finished the Time Traveler's Wife and was looking around amazon and found this short. I usually don't pay good money for 1.5 thousand digital words, but I loved Audrey's book, so I thought I'd risk the $[very low price deleted by moderator] since it was a low price. And, it was worth every penny. This is a funny short story, and I didn't find Time Traveler's Wife funny. But, I think that if you liked the book, you'll love this.
