2.0
First, let me start with the good - the adrenaline you get while reading this book is unparalleled for anything I’ve read in awhile. The descriptions of the cockpit, the attendant’s station, and general aircraft design are so realistic you can literally picture yourself there.
However, I hold little to no weight in any of that when we’ve gone ahead and played into the most basic, derivative stereotypes.
I found it deeply upsetting.
I want to be clear, I am a white female - I know my privilege, I work hard to be sensitive to the feelings of people who experience the world differently to me.
I don’t think that the white, affluent community did anything positive with this, and I’m so disappointed.
