The Angel Factory, blog one, pages 1-49

This book is amazing. The best thing it has done so far is hinted at Thomas's parents being angels. When he and Gip go look at their parents files, they are labeled
"HOME
 BILLS
 SERAPH
 TAXES" (p. 9) Seraph is an old name for angel. Also, their neighbor calls them a band of angels. I so far have really liked the book and am wishing I knew the answers to all the questions I have now. At this point, everything is just established and not concluded. The files, the warehouse in the middle of nowhere. And the weird journey inside the warehouse. But I have some conclusions that may or not turn out to be true. I believe that the parents are angels. And possibly the surfer dude, and Thomas's sister too since they are all on the train no one sees. I believe that the purple place, since it is down under the ground and comes from the black elevator is representing hell. And the reason why Thomas passes out when he goes up, is because everything is too bright and holy. The way he gets in is not very lawful, he reads his parents mail, doesn't listen to them and goes on the train with them, and he pretends to be an "angel" and walks in with the other briefcase people. So he goes to "hell". But then when he once again tries to be and "angel" and goes into the second elevator. And with all this information in mind, I believe that his parents, sister and her boyfriend, are all trying to make Thomas so good that he becomes and angel, hence the name angel factory (the title).

  1. Your blog looks great! I love the title -- very clever. Of your posts about The Angel Factory, I've only read this one, because I don't want to spoil the ending. This first post got me interested, so I may want to read this book soon.

    Well done. Keep up the good work!
