Customer Reviews

Great book, great message!

This is a great book! It is very suspenseful, which makes it a perfect read for kids who like suspense. It will be too suspenseful for kids ages 6 & 7 and probably 8, too. The suggested age level is ages 10-14. It has a great message-how greed can overtake you! The Coopers- Jay, Lila, and Dr. Cooper go on another archeological adventure, searching for ancient artifacts. Filled with suspense and harrowing escapes to the very end, this book will keep you very captivated from cover to cover!

An absolute page turner

"The Tombs of Anak" is a spell-binding story. Peretti sure didn't miss the mark when he wrote this book. Jay, Lila and Dr. Cooper all impressed me with their faith. But I wonder where Peretti got the information on the Anakim race. I looked in my Bible and didn't find a thing about them.

Frightening

The Tombs of Anak is about a family of archaeoligist who go to a foreign country. There they meet a race of six-fingered people. Their god is Anak. Anak is evil, and is angered by a loss of his sacrifice. This family must fight to stay alive, and keep their faith in God all at once.

This the best book I ever read!!!!!

This book is probaly the best book I ever read!It's amazing how much the Doctor.Cooper and his children have faith in god.Every time they come across a danger they donn't depend on themselves first they depend on god to give them ideas.This is a great book,a Peretti killer!

A extremely intriguing book!

After I read this book, I wanted to learn more about the strange race of the Anakim, a race of giants with 6 fingers on each hand! It forced me to look up information on the internet, and even made me turn to the Bible, of which my searches have not left me unaided.I am not 9- 12 years old, yet this book still makes me ponder it's content immensly. Some parts I even read again in amazement! I recommend this book and the rest of the Cooper kids series to anyone, ages 9 to adult!
