Quotation 1 from "The House of the Scorpions"

Quote: "If you didn't know Tom well you would think he was an angle bringing you the keys to the pearly gates."

This is an important quote from the book because it is dead on when it discribes the charactor Tom. Tom is an evil lying little boy who pretends to act nice around strangers and his family, but he really hides his true self. When you first meet him you would think he was an little angle.
