As you know, Jillian and I also read for our book club called the Spine Breakers, and this month's selection was the Flight Attendant by Chris Bohjalian. This book sounded so promising! It had great reviews! And the premise was creepily interesting. Basically, to sum this book up in a nutshell, the main character is a flight attendant who likes to sleep around. She likes to drink, and has been known to drink to the point where she blacks out. One morning she wakes up in bed next a man who is dead. But he didn't just die in his sleep! His carotid artery was slashed and he bled out. Next to him on the ground is a broken wine bottle. The reader isn't sure who killed him, and even our lovely flight attendant isn't sure if she or someone else killed him.
Who knows? Well, I guess I know now.
To me the book was kind of lengthy. No short chapters that made our last book club selection a breeze! Also, I did not like the ending. In fact, I zoned out on the ending and had to ask my co-woker who happened to be reading this book at the same time (not Spine Breaker related) what happened. She wasn't crazy about it either.
So Dewey Readers, I give out a rating of 2 out of 5 very sad Coffee Beans.
P.S. Jillian picked this book, so we'll blame her.
