4.0 out of 5 stars Realistic and well-written!, 2 April 2009
This review is from: Flightsend (Definitions) (Paperback)
Flightsend is one of those books that doesn't build up to any great earth-shattering event or revelation, but just tells the story of a girl and how she deals with everything that life throws at her.

Charlie and her mother, Kathy, are brilliant characters, and are so well written that it's sometimes hard to remember they're fictional. Kathy is still coming to terms with the loss of a stillborn baby, and Charlie is doing everything she can to support her. Their mother/daughter relationship is so touching, and is explored from all angles. To help her mother, Charlie is willing to leave her old life behind and move to a house in the middle of nowhere. If that's not love for a parent, I don't know what is.

Sean, Kathy's now ex-boyfriend, is another character I really enjoyed reading about. He's someone that, through no obligation or necessity, remains in Charlie's life as a friend and father figure. This shows that family doesn't have to be blood related, and that some bonds are just too strong to break.

Flightsend shows us that you can overcome anything, and that there's always life left ahead of you, no matter what terrible events may slow you down along the way. It shows the powerful link between a mother and a daughter, and the positive effect that a change of scenery can provide. It's about new beginnings and looking forward, and is an uplifting novel that embodies courage and determination.

I also love the beautiful cover, which perfectly captures the essence of the prose and story. It's bright and hopeful, and is bound to stand out on any bookshelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a very good book!, 31 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Flightsend (Paperback)
Flightsend was a terrific book and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I find Charlie's life very interesting, she's very responsible and she's always looking out for her mother's needs. I'm 14 years old and I recommend this book to everyone no matter how old you are! I won't tell you too much of the story, you'll definitely have to try it for yourself!

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic read
I loved this book. I'm 15 and it was so nice to read a book about other teenages going through the same problems you are. It made me feel I wasn't alone. Read more
