This book was the same book in a different setting, and somehow, it wasn't nearly as interesting. There were some neat insights into the back end of airport life, and it felt like a reasonably fast read, but no, it didn't grab me. ( )Very funny book, couldn't put it down I really enjoyed this, better than I expected to from some of the reviews. It's fluff, but I think that's the point. Have also read [Hotel Babylon]], Beach and Fashion are on Mt. TBR Another 24 hours with nameless narrator, this time an airline terminal manager, but again a witness to the worst of human behaviour, animal smuggling, suicide attempts and sexual exploits. The beauty of Ms E-J's writing is her ability to sketch characters so hastily but so accurately. Another one for that rainy weekend. Well, the ins and outs of the work of a ground-manager at an airport. He did not seem to do much work but was full of stories of experiences from colleagues. The first bit, at the airport is medium interesting, the second half, in the plane and at the party in Dubai is rather disturbing. This book was more interesting than the earlier "Hotel Babylon", but will I ever want to fly again?? no reviews | add a review
