THE CITY OF ANGELS is fascinating reading! Eyes will stay glued to its pages and millions of people from all over the world will find themselves stopping often to think about these seemingly simple statements. You will learn a lot. And some of it will be hard to take because it makes one look critically at their views of the world and their many preconceived ideas. If anything, LG Williams demonstrates that there are many sides to every aesthetic condition. And few have ever taken a careful in-depth look at this before. Most of THE CITY OF ANGELS is easy to follow. However, a lot has to do with art and philosophy, which people always find confusing. Most people, therefore, will have no idea whether his arguments on these topics are valid or not. But when it comes to human nature, he's an expert. LG understands love, greed, the desire for power and the horrendous amount of death and destruction that has always existed. Professor Williams also understands the need to try to fight oppressive forces and make the world a better place to live. This is what THE CITY OF ANGELS wants to happen. This gives THE CITY OF ANGELS a second halo - a halo of hope. Even though most of the book turns a bright spotlight on all the love that exists in the world, in most cities and towns, LG would be met with a firing squad instead of an audience which cherishes his every word. But basically, the relatively accessibility of THE CITY OF ANGELS is a welcome balance to Williams's often formidable scholarly writings. This is a book best taken in doses: a sort of bedside reader.
