Rating: Summary: A extremely intriguing book! Review: After I read this book, I wanted to learn more about the strange race of the Anakim, a race of giants with 6 fingers on each hand! It forced me to look up information on the internet, and even made me turn to the Bible, of which my searches have not left me unaided.I am not 9- 12 years old, yet this book still makes me ponder it's content immensly. Some parts I even read again in amazement! I recommend this book and the rest of the Cooper kids series to anyone, ages 9 to adult!
Rating: Summary: Christian propaganda Review: Buyer beware! Nothing on the cover reveals that this is born-again Christian propaganda,the hero an Indiana Jones who stops to pray. The bad guy actually IS an anti-god and not just a human with a sheet. I was shocked when my daughter brought it home. It is a very creepy book.
Rating: Summary: If you thought Peretti couldn't get better....HA! (Rapha) Review: It's Frank Peretti's brilliant novel writing skills...condensed! It's a super-cool family of archeologists--minus a mother--who investigate phenomena in the spirit of Indiana Jones, only with a Christian perspective.The Coopers are on a nice, run-of-the-mill, routine dig in Israel, when they uncover a huge pit. Then one of their crew falls - or is pulled - down, and never seen again. After being captured by the creepy Yahrrim, the local tribesmen who live in fear of their god, meeting their prophetess, Marah, and encountering a rough and mysterious desert rogue they are finally forced to enter. . .The Tombs of Anak. Riddles, action, suspense, and coolness are loaded to the gills in this book, just great for young people who want to read some cool stuff without the junk and gore of Illinois Jones, or whatever. And yes, there is Christian material in these books, as another reviewer so angrily stated. Refreshing if you ask me. Parental warnings: Lots of creepy stuff in this book...the Yahrrim are scary - when we first meet them, they're in the middle of an underground ritual - and lots of other scary things happen in the book. I read them when I was younger, and I thought they were cool. And I never needed the Arkansas Jones movies!
Rating: Summary: Adventurous and spiritual! Review: OK, you like the Indiana Jones movies for their action, adventure, and historical interest. However, you can't show your children those movies for awhile, because they have PG-13 violence and language. THIS book, and it's siblings, are just what the doctor ordered. I read this book as a 7th grader, and still read Peretti's newer Cooper Kids books as a college student for fun! More than just a kid's book, these are truly riveting and tense adventures that are great for any adult to read. There's also lots and lots of good Biblical material in here, and it's good spiritual nourishment for your young ones. But, as I said, don't let your kids have all the fun. Pick up these books and enjoy, I was haunted and entertained!

Rating: Summary: Spooky and Thrilling! Review: The Tombs of Anak is a very creepy book. It's full of excitement and although it is Peretti's children's series it is a very entertaining book for the older reader as well. I would recommend this book to anyone over thirteen. I'd say it's too frightening for anyone younger than that.
Rating: Summary: This the best book I ever read!!!!! Review: This book is probaly the best book I ever read!It's amazing how much the Doctor.Cooper and his children have faith in god.Every time they come across a danger they donn't depend on themselves first they depend on god to give them ideas.This is a great book,a Peretti killer!
Rating: Summary: Great book, great message! Review: This is a great book! It is very suspenseful, which makes it a perfect read for kids who like suspense. It will be too suspenseful for kids ages 6 & 7 and probably 8, too. The suggested age level is ages 10-14. It has a great message-how greed can overtake you! The Coopers- Jay, Lila, and Dr. Cooper go on another archeological adventure, searching for ancient artifacts. Filled with suspense and harrowing escapes to the very end, this book will keep you very captivated from cover to cover!
