Rating: Summary: Worst book I have ever read... Review: God, this book was bad. I don't think I have ever read a book this bad in my life. The author obviously never learned proper grammar or English in grade school. She leaves the reader hanging with double negatives and improper phrases. She also makes no sense while writing. One of the chapters in the book she wrote about a women who had an airplane chair stuck to her butt and she goes to make coffee. Another chapter, Heidi, the main character, breaks her leg on a chrome poll, not once, but twice, and just gets back up and continues what she was doing. I asked a few of my colleagues, who happened to read this book, said it was very bad, too. When I got to the last few chapters, I was so sick and fed up with this book, that I though it out my office window and into the parking lot. Reading this was a waste of my time. I want my $ back from buying this book.
Rating: Summary: Real Life Action And Drama Review: This book is a brillant disaster story about a plane crash. Every person in the story comes vividly alive and even minor characters such as policemen and firemen have their own personalites. The separate story of each person unfold as the 'Golden Hour' runs out.. Definitely a book you can't put down as the constant changing from character to character left you hanging on what was going to happen next to each of them. This book is sad in some parts, exciting in others, dramatic in others and I recommend it to people 12 and up. It is my favourite Caroline B. Cooney book. My only complaint is it ends too quickly and some of the stories don't seem quite finished. I want to know what happens next!
Rating: Summary: A Gripping Tale of Tragedy and Heroism Review: I read this book over the winter (a few days) and found it quite entertaining. When a 747 jumbojet crashes in rural America, emergency volunteers and bystanders band together to help the victims trapped inside. This is a good book suitable for most audiences. Though I found some problems in the book (which is why I gave it a 4) it is still an excellent book. Must read!
Rating: Summary: Not for the faint of heart Review: My two daughters (ages 13 and 11) and I listened to this book on tape while driving on a 7 hour trip. We were all riveted to the story but it was a bit frightening for my 11 year old. The author has a way of really making you connect with the characters and their feelings. At first, it seemed like there were so many different people (all with their own views and thoughts) that I didn't think we would remember them all. Didn't happen. Each character is given his or her full shot in the story.I recommend this book to young adults (13+) but not if you are planning any air travel in the near future.
Rating: Summary: A must read trill seaker Review: "Flight Number 116 Is Down" was an great catch. It caught my attention instantly. I would recomend it for anyone no matter if they liked to read for fun or not. Once I started, I had to finish it. One of Cooney's best books.

Rating: Summary: Phenomenal Review: Patrick, a trained EMT, had wished for something exciting to happen to his boring old town. He had never expected that his wish would come true, but worse than he had wanted. A huge plane crashed in Heidi's back yard and hundreds are injured. This town is not prepared for such a disaster. What will Patrick and Heidi do to help in this terrible situation? This book is full of suspense. Once you start reading you cant stop. Its an amazing book!
Rating: Summary: flight 116 down and gone Review: Flight 116 was a stimulating book that kept my class and I alive waiting for the next thing to happen! Also with young relationships with a young girl and boy, going through problems. All in all my 8th grade class recomeds you to read this book!
Rating: Summary: A great Book Review: I think that the book " Flight 116 is down " was a excelent book. It had a little bit of everything..( fiction,romance,ect..). I thought that it had a great outlook on how life could be. This very rich girl, who has never had to care for anyone before, finds herself having to care for over 150 people who are eirther seriously injured or dead... it is a very good book, that keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering whats going to happen next, i recomend this book to anyone who likes a little adventure !
Rating: Summary: Not as Good as Some of Carolines Books Review: I just finished reading the book, and I didn't like it as well as Emergency Room. The best thing about this book is the Minute by Minute play. But in all it is a book worth buying.
