A review by traciemasek
Flight by Sherman Alexie

2.0

Saw this at the library and picked it up because I remember loving The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven when I read it in college. I'm waffling between 2 and 3 stars. Alexie's a fantastic writer, but this seemed really quick and thin to me. I know it's marketed as a YA book, but that's not really an excuse for lack of depth. I sort of feel like he wrote this in a way where he knew it'd be a book that kids could read for school and could draw some really obvious themes from. There was a nice hint of magical realism, and it kept me entertained, and I quite liked the ending, no matter how realistic it might be. So yeah, it's somewhere between okay and good.
