It was pretty interesting, but I didn't like how the author tried to empathize with the terrorists. Also, I am surprised the main character was so calm, their was little fear and it just seemed unreal to me.
While I did enjoy this book and it gave me a very different prospective on Palestine, some of the minor characters were very hard to follow. For example, I did not know where Jim and Alan came from. This book also had a fast pace but started getting slower towards the end. I still would recommend this book to others.
Great choice for a literature circle group. Gripping all the way to the end. This is a must read book.
This was a replacement purchase. My daughter left this book where the dog could get a hold of it, and she was borrowing the book from a friend.
My daughter loves it
I requested this book because it’s a topic I know very little about. I’ve studied Palestine extensively in university and the liberation of Palestine is a subject I’m very passionate about. However, the plane hijackings by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) in the 1970s slipped through the cracks.The book also stood out because while it’s a work of fiction, it’s based on real events that the author lived through. Between the harrowing topic, complex politics and real life events this book could have been amazing but in the end fell a bit flat. I can best sum it up as alright. I totally expected more.The story begins with Anna boarding a flight to London from Bahrain. She’s heading back to attend boarding school. Everything is going smoothly until the pilot announces that the plane has been hijacked by members of the PFLP. The plane is diverted to Lebanon and then to an abandoned airstrip in the Jordanian desert. There the passengers are given very little food and water, exposed to the extreme elements of the desert and are in constant fear of being killed if the British government didn’t give into the demands of the hijackers.This book was written at a fast pace, although the final few chapters felt longer than necessary. I read through it in one sitting mostly due to the fact that it features short chapters and easy prose. It’s style is more middle grade than young adult but due to the topic I can see why it’s aimed at an older age group.What bothered me about this book was how I couldn’t connect or identify with any of the characters. I read on because I wanted to know what would happen and not because I cared about Anna. Her voice fell flat and forced at times, too much like an adult and not a 15 year old. At the end of the novel I knew I should have felt more for her when she struggled to come to terms with what happened to her…but I didn’t. I need books with characters I can become deeply connected to. I NEED TO FEEL THEIR PAIN, FEAR, WHATEVER! Sadly, this didn’t happen. With such a traumatic event such as this one, I should have felt something.I’ve rated this book a 3 out of 5 mainly because while I didn’t connect with it, it’s not a bad read. My main criticism is very subjective. I’ve read other reviews where people have loved the book and the characters. The topic is very interesting and one that is relevant to what is happening in the world today. If you do pick this book up, I’d love to know your thoughts!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I don't every select Young Adult / Teen books to read and review, but this one caught my attention. Most likely because it didn't have to do with fantasy and/or vampires, and the writing didn't seem to be overly juvenile.The story, loosely based on a very real episode in the author's life, takes place in 1970. During this time period, in general, passenger planes were high jacked with alarming frequency. In September 1970, 3 passenger planes were high jacked in retaliation of and to barter for the release of high jacker who had been captured the year before. On one of these planes is Anna Miller, who left Bahrain to return to England where she goes to school. The story follows Anna's experience on the plane as it is high-jacked and set down in the Jordanian desert, and left there for 4 days while negotiations are being held in England.What makes this book so powerful is the author (who actually was on one of the planes high-jacked) is pulling from her own memory and feelings. She is able to take the reader to a place that is manifested by terror, fear, sympathy and loss. The reader is in that plane, on that desert airstrip, without air conditioning, very limited food or water, and amidst deplorable conditions. At times I was moved to tears during this book - and that hasn't happened to me for quite some time!I almost think tagging this book as Young Adult / Teen is a disservice. While I can't gauge how some one in that age range will feel about a book that takes place over 40 years ago, in a world that is much different from today, I feel this book will not be drawn to the attention of many adults who would enjoy this as much as I have.I have not had occasion to recommend a book as highly as I do this one in quite some time. Difficult subject, but a powerful read.
I liked it.This is a tricky historical fiction, because the author was fictionalizing her own experience. She was THERE, but she still had to research it because it happened 45 years before she wrote it, and she had to change things because sometimes real life is exceedingly dull.Four days/nights in the desert after being highjacked--it seems it should have been more exciting than it was. Yet the dullness also has truth to it.I, as one who was alive during the 1970s, would have liked more of a sense of the time, as in the clothes worn then, the colors that were popular, the songs, the food. Obviously that would not have happened in the desert on a plane, but the days before being brightly described would have accentuated the dull horror of the highjacking experience.It's good how the author humanizes the terrorists. That may sound crazy, but the story is better not entirely populated by monsters, and these particular terrorists had an understandable, concrete goal which in a way separates them from the less focused and still very desperate terrorists of today.Still a GOOD book. Not a great one.
