Disclaimer: I received this advanced readers copy(kindle version) from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review
While The Flight Attendant was not my favorite book by Bohjalian ,it certainly held my attention. This author never fails to deliver on the story-line or his great writing style.(which I love) The story is a thriller with international intrigue including Russian spies. It is well researched(including interviews that he did with real flight attendants!) as are all his books. Once you get caught up in the story it is hard to put down. The main character,the flight attendant,Cassie is a functioning binge alcoholic who suffers from blackouts. Her life is a mess and her decision making skillls are abominable. She almost seems child like at times. There were many times I wanted to scream at her to wake up and make an adult decision. I had a hate/love relationship with the main character. Bohjalain certainly did his job in writing this book since he invoked my frustrated feelings toward Cassie..Isn’t this the goal of all authors for their readers? You either love of hate their characters. Mr Bohjalian certainly accomplished this with his latest thriller The Flight Attendant. Definitely recommend this read.
