Customer Reviews

I couldn't put this book down

In this fantasic novel, Frank Peretti captures you up in the story of a murderess, and a time warp that send Jay, Lila and a sheriff through time. The suspense this story delivers is unbearable. I didn't want to stop. Even for school. If you like mysteries, this is for you!

Whosever will may read

This book was excellent. I have every book Frank has ever written and I have read all of them at least three times. Except for Visitation and Prophet. Frank is perhaps the best writer around in the Christian field or in the secular field. This entire Cooper series is not for every 9-12 year old. The intensity of some of the books may be too much. These are excellent for adults looking for a good clean adventure story.

A Book with Spirit--Or Is It?

As a long-devoted fan of Peretti, I was curious to see what he would do with a ghost. I'm not going to give the answer away, but I'll encourage you to read this first chance you get. It won't take long--I finished it in less than an hour--and the plot is incredible. This is the kind of book that bends your mind while it takes your breath away. I would have to say that Peretti has done it again.

A FANTASTIC story!!

This book is a suspensful action packed thriller that anyone would enjoy, even adults!!I couldn't put it down. Within the day I recieved it I finished it. I didn't even want to stop for dinner it was so good! Even if you are not much interested in suspensful books you will love "The Legend of Annie Murphy" as much as I did!!

I am not 9-12 years old

I am not a pre-teen, but you don't really have to be in order to enjoy this book. In fact, it may even be a little too heavy for 9-12 year olds. At first when I started reading it, I thought that it was a little far-fetched. As I continued into the book, I realized just how wrong I was. As you get more involved in the plot the question of whether it could or couldn't happen is not important to the reader. He/she is so busy trying to finish the book that he/she will not have time to ponder the greater questions this book may bring.
