In this anthology exploring Asian American families in interwoven stories set in a Chicago airport, you will be baffled by the stupid things uttered by TSA agents, airline personnel and other passengers; toward these families; and how they are singled out and put in humiliating situations 🙄😓

I really wanted to like this one but the heroine gets to the point she‘s almost unlikeable which is sad. There were some laugh out loud moments but overall a bland read.

It was the bestselling book in the U.S. the year I was born. Having seen the film, I was surprised at how little space was given to the disaster plot -- instead the narrative is looser, a soap opera with monologs on sundry topics in aviation industry (and, awkwardly, abortion). Then in the final quarter the disaster subplot delivers a rousing conclusion. Engaging, interesting and ends in thrills -- which you can't say about *some* bestsellers.

ReadingOver50 I just looked up the bestselling book the week I was born. The Spy Who Came in from the Cold by John Le Carre. Now I am motivated to read it. 3y
bthegood If goodreads is correct In Cold Blood the year I was born - I have read it 😊 3y
swynn @bthegood That's a good one! 3y
swynn @bthegood That's a good one too! For my project, I should have said “bestselling novel,“ since I've been using this list:

bthegood @swynn based on that list it is The Source by Michener 😊 3y

I found an old bookmark at page 85 and this time I only made it to page 21. I have no interest in reading more from this bloviating, self-indulgent main character.

Librariana Adiós libro! Au revoir, livre! Bye bye, book 👋 3y
Hooked_on_books @Librariana Exactly! I must have tried to read it previously years ago but am now wiser and it‘s already in the box to donate or trade in. Sayonara! 3y
