Thanks to Scribner for the free advance copy of this book.

TURBULENCE is a set of interconnected short stories linked by flights between cities. Each story features a person from the previous story as they travel to a new city, influencing each other on their travels, sometimes knowingly, sometimes not.

At less than 200 pages, this book seemed more like a thought experiment rather than an in-depth story. It was intriguing to see who made up the links between the stories, and to see that it wasn't a stretch to travel around the world through just 12 people.

In the end, though, I found myself wanting more depth. The brief, almost voyeuristic glimpses into these lives were interesting, but there were several characters I would have liked to see more from or revisit. I think as a book it was a little flat, but if it got reworked into a TV show? I'd be sold.
