A review by tlou
Flight by Sherman Alexie
3.75
overview bc i'm too tired to write something eloquent:
- very simplistic writing with humourous elements. a very informal approach that fits perfectly with our 15yo mc
- i'm not much found of fantasy so when the story shifted my interest automatically dropped a bit. i'd personally prefer a realistic approach. despite that, each body jump was engaging to read about. just overall not my cup of tea
- well it's not my place to discuss the native american rep esp when the author himself is native american. i just can't help but feel like this needed a bit more of a positive rep to balance out all of the characters...
- speaking of positive rep, i get this is an hormonal teen but... why was every woman in this spoken of as some sort of meat. even his foster mum by the end like. was that necessary.
- i still somewhat enjoyed reading this tho i had different expectations (i knew it encorporated fantasy elements as it's part of my eng lit syllabus and we're studying it atm. but my prof did mention it's a book that once you start you can't seem to put it down so i did think i'd bingeread this instead of sort of - not really but almost - dragging it)
