4.0 out of 5 stars Short, but a good easy read, September 2, 2011

This review is from: Ramps Down, Troops Away! (Hardcover)

This is a really short little novel at only a couple of hundred pages, but overall its a good little read and short enough so that I can overlook the obvious gaps and flaws in the storyline.

The first 3rd of a book is virtually dedicated to character development, and so it does surprisingly well in generating a bit of empathy with the main character.

Would be an excellent book to polish off on a long haul airplane flight!
