Great read and enjoyed the constant suspicion which built into not wanting to put it down.
Special thanks to all preview readers.
I would like to extend a very gracious thanks to all that were willing to take the time to read my first book. It is really exciting to make it acually happen.
Zach from San Marcos, TX
I found this to be a very pleasant story. I thought the plot was well thought out and very smooth. Just as things began evening out for the characters, a well placed conflict would arise. It kept me engaged and curious to find out what would eventually become of the Islanders. All in all, I would say it was a good read.
Cindy from Fairview, TN
I really enjoyed this book. The author took great care to describe characters, events, locations, and actions to give the reader a great understanding of each. This book is a good read. It draws the reader into the struggles and possibilities the characters face as they use their past mistakes to become stronger and better. This is a great first book, and I look forward to the next title, with much appreciation to the author for her fine and thoughtful work.
Katie from McEwen, TN
Very awesome book. Keeps you very interested and suspicious on what is about to happen next. Very good roll for all characters, and very recommended story to everyone. Story makes you really think and wonder what really happened to the actual Maylasia 370.
Amber from Detroit, MI
You won't be disappointed! For me a good book means that I can jump into the story while I'm reading. It kept my interest the entire time and I felt as though I was also on that island. Definitely worth reading.
Debra from Austin, TX
Bravo to L. A. Smith for crafting a story and characters that are rich in ingenuity, faith and camaraderie in the face of seemingly adverse circumstances. By reading this, I am again reminded of the beauty in simplicity, the intrinsic value of sharing cultural knowledge and the importance peer communication and respect can play in the transcendence of human experience.
Wendy from Dickson, TN
A very intriguing story line with characters that kept you engaged to the end.
Diana from Cumberland Furnace, TN
L. A. Smith has written a book "Island Jet 370". It is captivating from the first page to the last. The characters are a variety of all kinds. They learn how to survive and become a community where all learn to work together. The story takes the reader's mind on a journey away from civilization. This book in my opinion should be read by all. You won't be disappointed.
Cindy from Dickson, TN
As a traveler who enjoys being able to fly, I really thought about how your life and well-being is in the hands of the pilot and crew members. The author L. A. Smith used her creative gift to write a suspenseful book to hold the reader's curiosity. Ms. Smith researched many parts of this book to make it real to the reader. As I read I could visually imagine the island, the damaged plane, and the passengers trying to rebuild and survive. Perhaps a sequel to this book will be created soon.
ISLAND JET 370: AFTER THE STORM reviews
BRENDA FROM HERMITAGE
Exceptional transition from the first book into this one. I love the detail from each issue they encountered. And how they all worked together being creative for a better life. Great read.
ZACH FROM SAN MARCOS, TX
The sequel to "Island Jet 370" is a fun revisit to what life on the island is like. Some time has passed, and we get to see how everyone has coped and potentially thrived since the events of the last book. The author did well with adding some nice twists that did not come out of left field, as well as putting a lot of thought into how processes would actually work in a situation such as this. If you liked the first book, you'll enjoy this one even more.
DIANA FROM CUMBERLAND FURNACE, TN
Mrs. Smith has written a sequel to her first book that has captivated my imagination to the point of
from the first word to the last, I climbed inside the pages and vividly lived along side the Islanders.
I highly recommend this book to everyone.
AMBER FROM DETROIT
I waited a few years for this sequel to come out! The 1st book was amazing and took me to that
island. I went right back to that island the second time around. I was pleasantly surprised by the
thrill of some of the plot twists thrown in there and loved that I got a back story provided on some
of the characters.
Would definitely recommend reading!
SARAH FROM CHARLOTTE, TN
This follow up to Island Jet 370 is just as riveting. The plot lines run smoothly from one to
another for an enjoyable read. The characters' personalities are well defined and complement
each other effortlessly.
A very fun read!
DEBRA FROM AUSTIN, TX
I was so happy to find that L. A. Smith wrote a follow up to the Island Jet 370 novel. I love the
colorful and diverse cast of characters in that story and learning the innovative ways they
approach starting society anew. This second book in the series, After the Storm, is just as
strong. In fact, while exciting new adventures certainly unravel, it was the ongoing resourcefulness
of the Islanders that kept me scrolling. It was delightful to discover how this "accidental"
community continued to face the challenges (and beauty) of growth and seemingly never ending
obstacles (and blessings) from Mother Nature.
I recommend this series to all those that dream of living in a cooperative and harmonious
society. I sure hope to see a book 3 in the near future.
