Review
He calls it "a fable for all ages," but there's not a moral to be found in 42 pages of untrammeled, possibly unedited starry-eyedness. Unless it's that a Big Movie Star can easily publish even his slightest flights of fancy. -- Entertainment Weekly

Whimsy and Magic,
By Mamalinde "mamalinde" (Dallas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Propeller One-Way Night Coach: A Story (Hardcover)
A refreshing and delightful tale of a young boy mesmerized at the prospect of airplanes and the wonder and possibilities within. In 1962, at the age of 8, he finally gets the opportunity to live this dream and board one of these silver creatures of the skies. His rather amazing mother chooses to go from Newark to Los Angeles, via the Propeller One-Way Night Coach, which leaves at 9 p.m. with stops in Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Chicago, Des Moines, Denver and Las Vegas, arriving in Los Angeles at 3 p.m. Due to an unexpected snowstorm and other twists and turns, the flight actually takes them much longer - with everything sparkling with magic and newness and wonder - and some truly amazing people along the way. Written as a children's story, I know of several little boys who will probably wear this book out.

very interesting....hard to follow,
By A Customer
This review is from: Propeller One-Way Night Coach (Audio Cassette)
Of course, like millions, I bought the book simply because it was written by John Travolta. I can't say it is so terrible because of my own troubles with writing. It was okay. Very easy to read and it only took me an hour and a half, but you should probably be interested with planes if you plan to read it. But for a first time-way to go John! Your my favorite actor and now you can be one of my role models since you published a book(one of my all time goals!!)

Sweet and Fun,
This review is from: Propeller One-Way Night Coach (Audio Cassette)
What a feel-good story. You don't need to look for a 'deeper' meaning with this one. It is simply about a young boy's love of flying. As such, I found it appropriate for adults and children (11 and up).Mr. Travolta's narration of the story is nice, soothing and thus it makes a great bedtime story too.
