Flight by Sherman Alexie

4.0

I read this pretty much non-stop. Zits (the name we are given from the start) has been bouncing from foster home to foster home for years. He has become hardened over time and hasn't much hope for anything to change for the better. He has become more and more destructive and he is ready to harm not only himself, but many others.

This is when things become very interesting. He begins to travel through time. He meets up with many people and has to see many situations from a perspective he has not experienced before. He is given the chance to see through the eyes of people he would have considered enemies. He is also given the opportunity to exact revenge on those who have harmed others. Through this he goes through a lot of introspection.

Alexie provides some humor in the midst of the tragedies. He also plays into some stereotypes.
