I’d been wanting to read this for a long time now, but waited until after I’d taken several flights and had no more in the near future because, well, duh. This book is like your worst fears come to life, and the way Newman wrote it, it’s so scarily accurate. Not to mention, one of the main characters in this nightmare situation was named Shannon, so that only furthered how immersive the novel was to begin with.
Alas, it was an incredible book. You’ll want to read it all in sitting, if possible. I’ve always found the stories behind disaster scenarios fascinating and this one was well-researched and supported to really make you understand what it would be like in real life.
