FLYING BLIND

I really enjoyed reading this book because it was very suspenseful. It was full of excitement, it made you not want to stop reading the book or even put it down. It was like being inside a movie acting it out as you read on. I believe everyone should have the Frank Peretti collection in their home. If it is your first time reading a book you should start on this book. If you like a book full of action and danger this is the book you should be reading. It takes place on a little two-passenger plane that belongs to jay's uncle. They both were having fun until a huge passenger plane had blown its engine. The force of the turbulence under the plane forced jay's plane out of control and knocking them both unconscious.

Summary: Not as exciting of a plot as the others, but still great
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. A nice alternative to the gore and junk in the Indiana Jones movies.

Flying Blind isn't as exciting or as spectacular of a plot as some of the others, but still will keep you on the edge of your seat. Jay Cooper has been struck blind on board his uncle's plane due to airplane turbulence. Now, with the help of ground crew, family, friends, and relatives he must attempt to keep his unconscious uncle alive and land safely...all while he is Flying Blind.

This book appears to be the last of the Cooper kids adventure series, sadly. It's not as grand as some of the other novels, like I said, but it's still worth reading.

For the parents: A pretty tame book, compared to the others. Jay gets whacked on the head and bleeds a little. That's it.

Summary: wow
Review: My son and myself have read all eight of the series now and have been very touched as well as entertained by the series. "Flying Blind" is a wonderful story of the Cooper family's ability to walk by faith and not by sight. As they are tested by some very trying circumstances God continues to reveal himself as a loving Father faithfully delivering his children thru difficult times. We have been blessed by reading about this family's very Good Friend who watches over and saves His people. Read the entire series and come to know this Good Friend better!
