5.0 out of 5 stars
Most definitly a must read!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Miracle in the Cornfield (Hardcover)
This book did what many books can not. Provide enough detail to really make you see what is going on, without explaining too much. As I read, I could really feel the tension and horror that the passangers must have gone through that horrible day. The CD that comes with the book helps to paint the atmosphere even better, as you can listen to the conversation between the pilot and the landing tower. A welcomed addition it was. The author constructed the book very well and I found myself unable to put the book down for very long. The story tells the life of one man, and how that fateful plane crash changed his life. I recommend it without hesitation!

A gripping story,
By A Customer
This review is from: Miracle in the Cornfield (Hardcover)
I consider myself an avid reader, however, it's been awhile since I pick up a book that made me cry and laugh through the whole book. My hat goes off to this author. I found this book so imformative and compelling that I now keep it out on my coffee table when guest come over. Two weeks after reading the book I am still thinking about that crash landing of that plane and wondering how would we fair today if that happen again.

Engaging experience.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Miracle in the Cornfield (Paperback)
I couldn't put it down. It is great. Joe has a gift for writing. He is able to deliver a very rich, complete story in a way that causes the reader to identify with all the people involved. I was moved to emotionally attach to the survivors, the victims, the families and friends who lost someone they loved and the rescue teams. The book goes beyond telling a story. This book becomes a vehicle that causes personal priorities to be reevaluated.
