This book fooled me. I thought it was going to be a different take on airplane hijacking books but as it went on I found it so trope-filled, predictable. Nobody else died except the bad guys (duh!). I mean, give me one or two casualties on the other side to up the suspense of it all. Author was definitely writing this with the possibility of it becoming a movie. I saw Octavia Spencer and Leslie Jordan in my head as I was reading. The movie/book would do well for the masses who settle for generic overplayed entertainment. Stereotypes were in full force. I wanted more from this. But I’ve learned my lesson. If the majority of a population likes something, it’s not really as great as they say it is. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

The experienced flight attendant, Jo, becomes an integral part of the story by trying to keep the passengers calm and in control amid the chaos.
