John ，

If you want to read an amateurishly-written story that has a plot in common with probably 90% of the worst ABC movies of the week from the 1970s， and that also manages to justify the actions of terrorists and condemn America for - what exactly？， then this is the book for you！

Magiccats ，

Really enjoyed this book。 The entire premise would make a great movie。 The author did a fantastic job developing the characters。

Jan van Es ，

What an incredible book。 I could put it down but that’s only because if I had continued in one go it would be x time in the morning。 I went back to the book each and every night to continue reading。 Absolutely enjoyed every chapter no matter how intense it was。 I’ve got to find another T。J。 NEWMAN book stat！！！

If you can roll with the fact that this really was a blockbuster book， you'll enjoy it。 It was action packed。 Theo's scenes were by far the most over the top。 It got me choked up though。 I do not cry reading often， but there was a lot of intense emotion in it。 If you can roll with the fact that this really was a blockbuster book， you'll enjoy it。 It was action packed。 Theo's scenes were by far the most over the top。 It got me choked up though。 I do not cry reading often， but there was a lot of intense emotion in it。 。。。more

Simple story line but extremely well written。 I finished the novel in 2 days ！

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 It's a big disappointment for me。 There are some incredibly forced plot points which I find utterly unconvincing。 But I am glad the author had her big break and I am interested in the film adaptation。 Seems to me it has great potential but it needs a bit more polish。 It's a big disappointment for me。 There are some incredibly forced plot points which I find utterly unconvincing。 But I am glad the author had her big break and I am interested in the film adaptation。 Seems to me it has great potential but it needs a bit more polish。 。。。more

I’ve been reading blurbs saying #Falling by T。J。 Newman is this year’s perfect vacation book。 I beg to disagree。 I think #Falling is the perfect stay at home and curl up with a book that will turn your hair prematurely grey from the suspense you’re about to subject yourself to book。 Here’s what I did。 First， sent my wife off for a nice long visit with her Aunt Betty。 Next， fed and walked Bailey our dog and then hid a whole box of chew toys all over the house。 Then I got a huge bag of Skinny Pop I’ve been reading blurbs saying #Falling by T。J。 Newman is this year’s perfect vacation book。 I beg to disagree。 I think #Falling is the perfect stay at home and curl up with a book that will turn your hair prematurely grey from the suspense you’re about to subject yourself to book。 Here’s what I did。 First， sent my wife off for a nice long visit with her Aunt Betty。 Next， fed and walked Bailey our dog and then hid a whole box of chew toys all over the house。 Then I got a huge bag of Skinny Pop and a couple bottles of Coke de Mexico and brought them to my favorite chair， dimmed the lights and turned off my phone。 Finally I sat down'， picked up the book，stared at the cover a few seconds， cracked it open and began reading。 Before long I thought I consumed too much popcorn and pop， but I realized that rumbling in my stomach was from all the tension created by #Falling。 So I ask you: who needs a vacation when you can have such a thrilling trip ？ 。。。more

This started really slow for me。 It had a great premise， but the FBI agent was irritating because he was making really dumb/irrational decisions。 The last 100 pages or so were more intense and interesting though。

Dallas Strawn ，

I think Falling was genuinely a really impressive debut novel。 It’s riveting， incredibly fast paced， it kept my attention， I didn’t want to put it down， and it made me never want to get on an airplane again as long as I live 😅😂 You kind of have to suspend disbelief。。。。。。The ending is a bit wild。 But， I really loved the book。

Hugh Carter ，

This book is one very good plot device wrapped in 250 pages of silliness。Reads like the movie tie-in version of the sequel to a pretty good action movie in the early 90s。 The setup is great and the characters are pretty good but everything else is extremely silly。 I couldn't connect with the writing so it was much harder to brush away the "。。。but why？" moments。 Props to my local library - if I had spent money on this I'd be bummed。Wait for the movie。 This book is one very good plot device wrapped in 250 pages of silliness。Reads like the movie tie-in version of the sequel to a pretty good action movie in the early 90s。 The setup is great and the characters are pretty good but everything else is extremely silly。 I couldn't connect with the writing so it was much harder to brush away the "。。。but why？" moments。 Props to my local library - if I had spent money on this I'd be bummed。Wait for the movie。 。。。more

Gordon Goldberg ，

Thriller will have you binge reading！Spell binding from the first！ This author knows her subject and it shows！ Maybe a little too wordy at the end--but overall a wonderful first novel！

Debbie （Can’t breathe w/o a BOOK） D ，

Loved It！！！WOW， what a ride。 This is one hard to put down book， it’s just got everything。 I’ve found a heroine in this book， and you’ll know when you read it。

It’s one of the best thrillers I have read in the last 3 years。 So taut， nail-biting， incredible！！ Simply could not put it down。 5+ stars。

Tammy Harpel ，

Do NOT read this while on a plane。 This was good with twists。 However， I predicted much of it early on。 This may trigger some feelings about 9/11 for some。

Pattie ，

OMG what a book！ Read it on the beach， with your book club or however you like to read - But Do Not read it on a plane！！Amazing， thrilling first book。 Can't wait for her next one！ OMG what a book！ Read it on the beach， with your book club or however you like to read - But Do Not read it on a plane！！Amazing， thrilling first book。 Can't wait for her next one！ 。。。more

🎧AUDIOBOOK REVIEW🎧This was fun to listen to。 From the beginning it was full speed ahead。 This is one of those books that would make a great movie。

Jessica ，

Not great， but I did stay up too late finishing it。

Jordan Dardas ，

I saw a 5 star review for the audible version of this book and that review made me buy it immediately。 This book didn’t disappoint， and i listened to it in under a days time。 I truly couldn’t stop listening and I was so immersed in the book that I forgot what i was doing at the time （driving， cardio， working）。 100% one of the best reads this year。

Karen Bartiromo ，

Such a good book！ A lot of great suspense！

Benita ，

This was one of those books where you have to find out what happens。 It’s also one of those stories you hate you’ve given space in your mind because it will haunt you！！ It’s so well written！！ You feel the anguish and desperation of all the characters。 How can I say I enjoyed a story about a hijacked plane？？ I don’t know yet that is exactly what I’m saying。

DEVONIA BOURGEOIS ，

3。5 stars

This chilling thriller was excellent。 If you're afraid of flying， you might want to skip this novel。 This chilling thriller was excellent。 If you're afraid of flying， you might want to skip this novel。 。。。more

I'm already anticipating the blockbuster movie！ This is a story that keeps you enthralled from page one， but continually ups the stakes with each successive chapter。 During the last half， I couldn't flip pages fast enough， annoyed by the slightest distraction that threatened to pull me from the book。Captain Bill Hoffman has taken a last minute flight from LA to NY， much to the chagrin of his wife， Carrie。 She was counting on his presence at their son's Little League game but Bill's decision quic I'm already anticipating the blockbuster movie！ This is a story that keeps you enthralled from page one， but continually ups the stakes with each successive chapter。 During the last half， I couldn't flip pages fast enough， annoyed by the slightest distraction that threatened to pull me from the book。Captain Bill Hoffman has taken a last minute flight from LA to NY， much to the chagrin of his wife， Carrie。 She was counting on his presence at their son's Little League game but Bill's decision quickly spirals into a nightmare for both of them--and countless others。Targeted by terrorists， Carrie frantically tries to keep her family alive on the ground while Bill faces impossible decisions in the air， every choice impacting the lives of the passengers aboard his flight。This is an adrenaline-fueled， emotional roller coaster。 Be prepared to gnaw your fingernails and teeter on a seesaw of right vs。 wrong。 Many lives comes into play--not just Bill， Carrie， and their children， but Bill's flight crew， FBI personnel， and those on board。 I especially loved senior flight attendant， Jo and her courage in the face of impossible circumstances。Some reviewers have called a few specific scenes corny， but I loved them。 I saw them playing out on the "big screen" complete with gasps and cheers from a movie-going audience， myself included。The author said she had forty-one rejections before finding an agent to take a chance on her manuscript。 His vision is our gain。 Newman， a former flight attendant， wrote this book on red-eye flights over a ten year period。 I'm thankful she stuck with the manuscript。 The finished novel ranks among those books I consider my top reads of the year。 I can't say enough about the frantic pace in which the last half plays out。 I have no doubt that Hollywood will scoop this one up quickly。 。。。more

Jana Eoll ，

What an absolutely crazy， entertaining ride！ This is a wonderful read。 It moves at a breakneck pace， the characters are cheer worthy and the ending is satisfying。 Summer is the best time to watch a action packed summer blockbuster at the theater or binge an incredible new series on Netflix… and it is also the perfect time to read a fast paced thriller like Falling。 Highly recommend。 This was quite the page turner。

Phillip Marquart ，

Was fine。 Not totally sure what all the fuss is about… it it was ok。

Nicole Toft ，

4。5 stars。 Well， I just finished this powerhouse of a suspense novel， and my heart is still pounding。 It takes place in a matter of hours。 A captain is blackmailed into crashing his plane because a terrorist has kidnapped his wife and children。 Who will he choose， the 149 souls on board or his loving family？ Filled with a wonderful cast of characters， nail-biting action scenes and tender-hearted human interaction， I highly recommend this book and can’t wait to see what they do with it on the big 4。5 stars。 Well， I just finished this powerhouse of a suspense novel， and my heart is still pounding。 It takes place in a matter of hours。 A captain is blackmailed into crashing his plane because a terrorist has kidnapped his wife and children。 Who will he choose， the 149 souls on board or his loving family？ Filled with a wonderful cast of characters， nail-biting action scenes and tender-hearted human interaction， I highly recommend this book and can’t wait to see what they do with it on the big screen （it’s already been optioned）。 Steven Webb （of Wings fame） narrates， and he is incredible。 。。。more

Ronda Taylor ，

Good premise， but poorly executed with many plot holes。 Disappointing。

patricia smith ，

I recommend this book。The author grabs your attention immediately and continues to keep your interest up until the last page。Some 9/11 type moments， but not distressing。
