Total “Dad book.” This was a fun adventure ride, and for many readers this is a great pick. It isn’t my wheelhouse but I enjoyed parts of it. Please do NOT give this to someone in your life who works in aviation. The inaccuracy will just aggravate them, as evidenced by my partner who was mad just hearing the synopsis. 

The characters are very All American but still loveable. The story around the hijackers and discrimination against the Middle East starts to make a positive statement but falls a bit short. I do appreciate that the attempt was made but I don’t think it was enough.
