I haven't read it, but I did get to see her new single-handed show-of-the-book at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this year. She continues to have do her regular (weekly) five-handed musical show-of-the-book in NYC, but she says she may also tour the single-hander in due course.
Any regular traveller will recognise many of the situations and share the pain/joy. The best thing is that her own good friendly personality comes across both in the show, and on talking to her personally. If only all FAs were like her.
