2.5 Overall a pretty fun read. Was actually going to give it 4 stars until I got to the ending…. So we are sympathizing with terrorists and painting them as victims? Liberal nonsense, way to ruin a story

This book has so many annoying and unlikable characters and moments. I tried to get through this without checking any reviews but at some point I wondered if it was just me... Its not.
This book has a story that moves which is good but it also seems like it was stretched out with filler that wasn't the core idea and the area the author was most excited about. The one area that really works is the flight attendants and how they react and their parts of the plot. It makes sense. The write is a former flight attendant.
However, efforts to flesh out the back stories of main characters falls very flat as do the motivations of the antagonists. It's all generic and I ended up just wanting to get through with it just to get to the ending.

Achei um thriller bem água com açúcar. Apesar das poucas páginas, me deixou super entediada e foi uma leitura difícil de concluir.
Não consegui me importar com os personagens. É super clichê. E os acontecimentos são tão improváveis que não sei como meus olhos não viraram para trás de tanto eu revirar.
Muitas conveniências, muitos elementos que foram forçados para parecer um filme.
A ideia de um thriller que se passa durante um voo foi muito boa, uma pena que para mim não entregou nada.
