Product Description
From Amazon
Frank Peretti, well known for his Christian thrillers (This Present Darkness/Piercing the Darkness, The Visitation, etc.) draws from his own experiences of not fitting in as a child to create this alarming tale of vengeance. The twins and their parents occasionally turn to their faith for guidance, but the crux of the story lies in the danger that comes from treating less cool kids like second-class citizens. References to the tragedy at Columbine remind readers just how painfully real the problem is. Peretti seems to use the twins' father as a voice for his own viewpoint: "Metal detectors may keep weapons out of the schools, and security officers can maintain at least a surface tranquility, but these will not keep out the pain, anger, and loneliness that cause a child to bring a weapon to school in the first place."

Peretti does it again,
By
This review is from: The Veritas Project: Hangmans Curse (Hardcover)
Once again I found myself humbled. I was anxiously awaiting this book, and then I found out it was for teens... YUCK! The book buyer in the store stopped me and said, "Wolfe, we've had adults who said this book scared the pants off of them!" So you take a look at the cover. Interesting. Then you get into the book. Oh yeah!Meet the Springfield family and the twins, Elijah and Elisha, the whole family better known as The Veritas Project, veritas is latin for the word truth (which yes, I learned in the book, so I learned something new) and they help the FBI. In this book you enter a world of hate, fear, and rejection. This book came out after Peretti's touching, "The Wounded Spirit" and it is right on cue. This book at times scared the poo-poo out me and was a page turner. I can honestly say that it doesn't hold much of a candle to the "Darkness" books, but it is classic Peretti, and it is certainly a 5 star book. Why do I say this? Because the darkness books were primarily spiritual warfare, while this book centered around bullying. There was one part in the book that deals with spiders and I was wrestling with myself whether or not to turn the page! This is what makes Peretti a master of an author, and that is why he is one of my favorite authors!

This review is from: The Veritas Project: Hangmans Curse (Hardcover)
"Hangman's Curse" and "Nightmare Academy" are entertaining and easy reads. If you've been doing heavy research or reading this is a good switch. Light, and fun, I enjoyed it after a long study program I was in.. I read both books back to back so this review will be seen under both books.I liked "The Visitation" better, but all three are worthy of your money..
