A review by hannahcomer4d
Flight by Sherman Alexie

5.0

Sherman Alexie is always a master with magical realism, but this novel takes it to a new level, in my opinion. This book explores the idea of shame, revenge, and regret in an incredible way, giving the main character, Zits, as well as the reader the chance to learn to empathize with victims and murderers, the suicidal and cheated, white and Indian. In Flight, there is no room for empty pity--we see the dark side of everyone. However, despite the tragedy upon tragedy, the reader is left with miraculous hope.
