I'm giving Hangman's Curse a positive review, but, frankly, I think I'm a bit biased. Why? Well, the book was one of the few that I enjoyed during my middle and early high school years, and reading it again a few years ago as well as a third time this week has made me love it again. In many ways, it was my introduction to not only Frank Peretti, but Christian fiction in general. Teens and even adults will find enjoyment in Hangman's Curse; an elderly friend from church even told me she read it"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."I believe that quote from the book sums up the theme quite well. This young adult novel is a fast-paced read that will have you frantically flipping pages to discover the truth. In fact, The Veritas Project vows to do just that...discover the truth.

If you can get past how completely dumb the initial set-up is, you'll find yourself absorbed in one of the better YA mysteries around.The ridiculous set-up is this: The sitting U.S. President establishes a task force, called the Veritas Project, to investigate situations that normal law enforcement would not involve themselves in. Despite the fact that the services of this task force
I finished this book in less than a day. I could not put it down until just a while ago and had no clue it was after 4am! Love the final couple chapters to draw this young adult novel to a close. . .moving!
Reading this book again for the second time. :) I love it!
Great book,Must read.
A really great book shows us how everything is great and worth to die for
