A hilarious book How do I know the book is hilarious? Because I’ve read it – OK, I wrote it. That’s right, folks, you’ll read about the time my friends and I accidentally pulled the toupee off a man’s head (We had dropped a lime and went to grab it, and didn’t realize we had his hair, and further didn’t realize the hair wasn’t attached). And a million other funny flights stories, all very “G” rated. Great book for anyone thinking of becoming a Flight Attendant, or anyone who knows anyone who has ever worked in inflight. Or anyone who is curious about the life of one Flight Attendant who is like a grown up Pippi Longstockings. You’ll love this book.
If you pre-order now, you’ll get a limited “First Edition” which may be of value at some garage sale – years from now.
Just FYI, there are lots of other advantages to pre-ordering this book – but I can’t think of them right now, cause I’m a little jet lagged. Best, Marsha Marks

This amazingly thin book is low on content and quality.
I’m sure there are blogs out there that make much better reading.
Very empty, very bland. I’m amazed that you can actually have a career as a flight attendant and have so FEW experiences to relate! Oh, I hid in the luggage bin! Oh, I forgot my uniform and had to wear one 10 sizes too small! Oh, I spilled orange juice on a passenger!
Come on!
I bought it due to the 20 positive customer reviews.
Could it be a case of the author reviewing her own book, under different names? I believe it must be…. Or her friends and family…
Amazon customer reviews are usually pretty reliable, but once in a while you come across a case like this where the reviews are totally skewed and disconnected from reality.
Save your money!!!!
Don’t buy it!!!

The only thing worse than this book is being stuck on a layover with only this book to read. I am a Flight Attendant and found this book short, boring, and not worth the money. The writing is poor and I did not laugh once. She tries to make it funny and fails! I was stuck without my usual selection of magazines that passengers leave on the plane and only had this to read. I will stick to the magazines from now on!

I loved this memoir type book. It was hilarious and a perfect read for a short while.
True, the book is very small, but the stories were entertaning and fun.
