On a rainy October morning, fifteen Danes have their lives turned upside down when the metro train they are traveling on is hijacked by unknown perpetrators, who will threaten to kill each of them, one by one, if their demands aren't met. This is the beginning of a historic hostage situation that, over the course of one single week, changes Denmark forever. The official Denmark finds itself caught in a whirlwind. The politicians argue whether or not to negotiate with terrorists. In the press, there are discussions on where the line is drawn in portraying the captives and seeking out their families.
Ordinary Danes are thinking that it could just as well have been them. Among the hostages, the thoughts vary between rebellion, negotiation and apathy, but one thought is shared by all: 'Am I going to die now?' As an admirer of various thrilling series, Denmark is definitely one of the countries which related production I follow as much as possible. So I was glad again when I heard about Gidseltagningen - and again, I can say I am contented. True, it is no Bron/Broen, but its realistic plot (suitable for modern world with its hostage dramas), depiction of decision-making in a democratic country (when comprehensiveness brings about tardiness in harsh situations), not strained characters and performances (particularly supporting ones, e.g. Paprika Steen, Alba August, Dar Salim) make this series interesting to watch.

Well, the real reasons behind could have been different, more sophisticated, but then it could have diminished its plausibility perhaps. We have to bear in mind that Gidseltagningen is no American or Asian series, after all, and anti-war mentality and topical mood were so maintained. All in all, 8 strong points from me, and you are welcome to watch, unless you dislike strong military presence and prefer works with good and bad distinctively marked.

Cooper just wants to escape, and a summer vacation aboard the restored cabin cruiser, The Getaway, with best friends Gordy, Hiro, and Lunk seems like the perfect way to do it. Two weeks of fun—with no mysteries or life-and-death danger. That’s the plan.But their plans are shattered the very first night when they witness a murder. Despite their intentions of leaving the investigation to the police, narrow misses and creepy encounters lure them in. Is there really a body floating in the underwater currents of the lake? The closer they get to the truth, the deeper into danger they get. Too late they see the trap.
Now each of them must face their own buried fears. Just below the surface. If I had one word to describe this middle-grade book that took me by surprise, it would be: GRIPPING.I haven't seen much of the suspense genre in a kid's category. Especially Christian suspense. What a niche. Basically, I enjoyed this read, because it was something different. And new.To be honest, there's actually some pretty creepy stuff that happens.

And new.To be honest, there's actually some pretty creepy stuff that happens. Allegedly, a girl may have died in the lake, right in front of the four main characters' eyes. Later on, the four kids go through various stages of not even wanting to be in the water because her body could be floating around or laying somewhere on the lake bed. On top of the idea of murder, someone is out to get the kids. Or so it may seem, as a string of dangerous coincidences keep happening. Like warning messages.
Not fun during your two-week summer vacation.Not only that, but there's some other interesting elements in the book. I loved how the author really brought in a problem that one of kids was having – the fear of being under water. It was something that Cooper hadn't had a problem with before, and yet the panic rose each time he dipped in the lake. This is something he really tries to overcome, and he strives to dig out the dark, lurking thoughts to get rid of the frightening experiences he's going through. Cooper doesn't work on his fear it just by himself though, he has his friends, his dad, and God.“He couldn't do it alone.
But he wouldn't be alone. God was real – and powerful – and loving. He believed that, didn't he?
Yes, Cooper would never be alone. God was with him – and God was big enough to handle whatever lay below the surface.”The main reason why I can really feel confident in recommending this book as a Christian is the godly view that is incorporated into the plot.
The spiritual content is by no means overwhelming, but it's there, sometime subtly, sometimes showing up in conversation, or when the characters are praying, etc. It shows their faith in a good light, just as if it's a normal part of everyday life – just right.Cons? There was one one scene where a boy is physically fighting with his father. He may have had reason to do so, but some parents may or may not approve of the scene (Chapter 29). Only one other element caught me off guard, just slightly. One of the villains in the story is depicted as the devil in one scene, especially when it says: “.he only need a pair of horns for the effect to be complete” (Chapter 99).Anyways, it's definitely an intriguing book, and not just for kids either. There are moments that are action-packed, even with bullets flying – to keep you on your toes.Thanks to NetGalley for a free copy of this book; I was not required to post a review.
I truly do love this series, and am so glad that I got them all together in a bundle, took the chance on it and was NOT disappointed. Though have to admit this gand have the worst luck ever, you can't help but like the protagonists and root for them esp Copper, and the way the character of Lunk was developed was a true heart melter.I won't say no to a 4th book, but that would be stretching their bad luck I guess. The only drawback is sometimes the paraphrasing gets too much, it might then I truly do love this series, and am so glad that I got them all together in a bundle, took the chance on it and was NOT disappointed.

Oh my goodness this was so confusing and intense.
I had no idea what was going on for the first 2/3 of the book! Which made me really excited to keep reading because I needed to figure out what happened! I am really sad this is the last book, but I loved the way the author wrapped up the story/series. I definitely think that if you read the first book, you should finish the series because it wrapped up some loose ends and answered a lot of my questions!

So, I loved the book, I got really into it, and read it super fast! I highly recommend it to anyone over the age of 11-12 as it would probably scare anyone younger pretty badly.:).
