Flight by Sherman Alexie
3.0
I'm always up for a Sherman Alexie book. Given that this one was read by Adam Beach, I was happy. It started out pretty slow and a little on the annoying side (Zits was your typical troubled teenager with the IDGAF attitude that the mom in me finds so irritating right now) but it got quite a bit better as it went on. Zits finds himself going through time and he discovers things about history and himself along the way. By the end of the book he realizes that he needs to make better choices and knows that there is more to life than being a snot of a teenager.
I won't say that this is my favorite of Sherman Alexie's books, but it was a good listen. I laughed a few times and also felt for the people in it, especially towards the end. It was well written and showed things pretty well from the perspective of a kid who had grown up in a troubled life. It reminded me a bit of Quantum Leap with the jumping through time, but that wasn't a bad thing. It was interesting to see Zits grow through the book.
