Helpful Score: 4
i have been looking forward to reading this since i became a flight attendant over 3 years ago. i have been on the waiting list for my book swap group since then and finally recevied it.
my excitement dwindled after getting it and i learned two important lessons- never judge a book by its cover- or its title!!!!
i thought this was ging to be a book of letters to the airline from unhappy customers, or just one letter ranting about all of his awful experiences flying. i was so wrong.
its a fictional book about a guy on his way to his daughter's wedding. he gets stuck in chicago and decides to write a letter to american airlines. of the entire book- maybe a page is about his bad experience. the rest is his life story. and a not exciting life story at that. i kept waiting for the good stuff to come- and it never did.
the main character is also a translator so throughout this very long letter he includes translations of his current project. which bored the heck out of me.
at points it was painful to read (but i can never not finish a book). maybe if i knew what i was getting into i wouldve enjoyed it, but i had expectations which were not met.
such a disappointment.
