Flight by Sherman Alexie
5.0
I'll read most anything Alexie writes. I didn't even read the cover flaps or the back when I decided to buy Flight at the neighborhood second-hand bookstore. That was the right choice.
Not only does Alexie play with format and chronology here, he approaches emotions in a way that was refreshing as well. I felt attached to the character from the opening pages, but didn't realize how close I was growing until I sat in a local coffee shop with tears in my eyes as I read the final pages. It's been a while since a book grabbed me emotionally. Flight managed to do that subtly and superbly.
