Welcome to Litsy!

So fun to read another book by JR Lennon - this is his first novel, and you can already see his talent for absurd plot details and creating expertly drawn characters. He uses a tragic plane crash to explore personal tragedies and grief in the lives of people affected by the event. I hope he writes another book soon because I‘ll be really sad when I‘ve read all of his backlist!

On October 19, 1984, a small commuter plane crashed in northern Alberta, killing 6. Four men survived. This tells the story of the crash and how it happened, their experiences before rescue, the aftermath, then follows the men for over 20 years. It‘s terrific narrative nonfiction and an excellent read.

“And I remember that moment, when I knew. That you‘d broken loose in me the stuff that only love breaks loose.”

Loved this book. It is story about survival, love and how together we are stronger. A lot of depth. It might be time for a reread.

This book has some flaws but overall it is decent. I didn't like that we are told right away that Avery and Colin get rescued from the plane crash. It took away from the suspense and urgency when the author was talking about them being stranded. Some of the flashbacks got confusing too.

My book club is meeting at the end of the week to discuss Napolitano‘s latest book, but this one came highly recommended as well, so I thought I‘d better prepare and listen to it as well! First of all, I am definitely thankful that I didn‘t listen while we were traveling last week! This story of a plane crash and its aftermath for the sole survivor is certainly a sad one. I just wanted a bit more of that hope and a bit less on the actual plane…
