Book Enjoyed

“[S]uch pure pop storytelling that reading it is like hearing the best song of summer squirt out of the radio. Both the author and his subjects are so audacious that they frequently made me laugh out loud…. ‘Even the dullest skyjacking made for scintillating copy. And the truly sensational ones were like gifts from the journalism gods.’ Upon Mr. Koerner, those gods have smiled.”
 — The New York Times kind of likes Brendan I. Koerner’s The Skies Belong to Us: Love and Terror in the Golden Age of Hijacking. For what it’s worth, I do too.
