book review??
 

Saw an add for "Plane Insanity: A flight Attendants Tales...." and "Unofficial Travel Guide: 165 Tips even the best traveler..."

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Maybe an archive search will give you some feedback, including from some of us who saw the author on his book tour. I didn't buy it nor did I read it, and I found him somewhat but not entirely amusing.

I found Mr. Hester a bit taken with himself.

I haven't met Hester, but I did read his book. It was interesting and a pretty quick read for me because I just skimmed it.

I read the book on a flight from LHR-MAD. I think the whole book took me 1/2 to read (I'm a speed reader) It was amusing but doesn't have any stories that we haven't heard a version of here on FT

I Love New York -- Viva España

In this vein, Rene Foss has written Around the World in a Bad Mood! : Confessions of a Flight Attendant (you can get this at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0786890118 or http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0786890118 for example).

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.
