Great read for your flight....seemingly unredeemable main character that you still care about.

First class ?

When I was unable to find the movie to check out, I settled for the book, and I’m really glad I did! The spider’s web of intrigue Cassie finds herself in after a night of binge drinking and casual sex spirals into a nightmare beyond…

I enjoyed the beginning and it kept a good pace. I didn’t like the main character. She didn’t seem to have many likeable qualities.

This started well, but I lost interest fairly soon. I had problems with Cassie being so cavalier about sleeping around and drinking to excess to where she would blackout. Her character doesn’t do much justice for a hard-working flight…

Bohjalian directs his considerable talents as a writer to the thriller genre - "The Flight Attendant" is not his first, but with the flawed heroine and character-driven plot twists, it is one of his best.

I liked the novel but I too was disappointed in the ending. As she was a binge drinker and very promiscuous, I would have thought that she would have used birth control or some sort of device(?) to at least reduce the chances of STDs!

I was thoroughly disappointed with the ending. As previous comments indicated the ending felt extremely rushed. I must also say that I skim read a lot of the book. I will not read this author again.

Cassie Bowden is a flight attendant who makes very bad choices. She frequently drinks until she blacks out and she often has sex with random strangers during these blackouts. Surprisingly, she has suffered few long-term consequences…

This was a first read by Bohjalian for me, and to be honest I sincerely doubt I'll ever read another. It was honestly one of the most boring reading experiences I've ever had. The whole thing just drags... On and on, and on... And on...…

After watching the trailer for the new HBO show (starring Kaley Cuoco) I had to pick up this book right away. The premise is really interesting to me, and I thought it was unique to have a flight attendant as the main protagonist. The…

The plot in this book is different than I thought it would be when I started reading it. It’s not good or bad just different. I don’t think it’s a plot twist thing but more of my expectations. The storyline is different than most thrillers…

This thriller about a flight attendant named Cassie, who wakes up next to a dead man after a night of blackout drinking, isn’t very thrilling. The beginning has a strong and promising start, the middle drags and then the end wraps up…

Taut political thriller from start to finish. The convoluted ending left me scratching my head somewhat and left a lot of unanswered questions and opened the door for new ones. The negative stereotypes of a female flight attendant plays…

This woman is a hot mess & it’s quite remarkable she even survived. O. M. G.

The ending confused me but overall it was a good read. Looking forward to watching the HBO series.

**SPOILERS** I really enjoyed this book for the very reason that a lot of other people didn't like it, until the author went and gave it the typical (boring) happily ever after ending of the main character ending up in a relationship…

Once I heard that Kaley Cuoco Cook was going to be producing and staring in this show based on the book by the same title, I knew I had to hurry up and read it. The book itself is pretty good. I listened to the audiobook version, which was…

Did not like this book. I usually like the author

Yes it was hard to put down as the unhinged, unpredictable character Cassie lurched drunkenly from one situation to an even worse one but I was disappointed with the ending which seemed to to wrap up too quickly and neatly. Still worth the…

I tried to read it all but I skipped chapters and didn't feel I missed anything.

I read Chris Bohjalian's "Midwives" and loved it; thus I was very eager to read the "Flight Attendant." Alas I was very disappointed. When I read a book I need to empathize with the leading character. Here I could not empathize either with…

I've read most of Bojhalian's books and have enjoyed ALL of them. I read some of the reviews(?) of some readers and was somewhat hesitant because of their negativity and snide comments. I will no longer place any credence on the…

I liked this book but the beginning is very slow and her excessive drinking was difficult to bear. After Egypt it picks up and becomes a page turner. The ending felt rushed but is a total surprise! I would love a sequel to follow-up on…

Detestable protagonist, juvenile, implausible plot, frustratingly unsatisfying ending. All the elements that go into a taut, gripping thriller? I think not.
