Disappointing
Reviewed: 12-03-23
There might have been a story here if the author hadn’t been so set on writing a plotless fantasy. Do people really read this kind of thing? It was a cross between a Hallmark movie and soft porn. No point to it.

Story
When it comes to setting and meeting goals, we may see - quite literally - our plans, our progress, and our potential in the wrong ways. We perceive ourselves as being closer to or further from the end than we may actually be depending on our frame of reference. We handicap ourselves by looking too often at the big picture and at other times too long at the fine detail. But as award-winning social psychologist Emily Balcetis explains, there is great power in these misperceptions. We can learn to leverage perceptual illusions if we know when and how to use them to our advantage

Satisfying and engrossing story of the displaced “orphans” who found themselves in the notorious hands of the Tennessee Children’s Society during the early 20th century. The book weaves together the lives of three generations and their efforts to discover the mysteries of their family trees.

Good audio book with solid recommendations. Having him keep directing you to his website in each chapter for additional secrets is a bit tiresome. I paid for the book not his website. So either spell it out or move on. Overall it's a good book and a solid resource.

Story
Meet Ove. He's a curmudgeon - the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him "the bitter neighbor from hell". But behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness.

I loved this perfect balance of hilarious gallows humor and sadly sweet tenderness. Any sweeter would have been too sweet. Any more cynical would have been too cynical. It was very well done.

Hilarious, although snarky description of an American's impressions of touring Europe. I thoroughly enjoyed the author's exploits and his frequent errors in travel judgement made for an amusing tale.

Story
In the summer of 1966, Rinker and Kernahan Buck - 2 teenaged schoolboys from New Jersey - bought a dilapidated Piper Club airplane for $300, rebuild it, and piloted it on a record-breaking flight across America - navigating all the way to California without a radio because they couldn't afford one. Their trip retraced a mythical route flown by their father, Tom Buck, a brash, colorful ex-barnstormer who had lost a leg in a tragic plane crash before his sons were born - but who so loved the adventure of flight that he taught his boys to fly before they could drive. The journey west, and the preparations for it, become a figurative and literal process of discovery as the young men battle thunderstorms and wracking turbulence, encounter Arkansas rednecks, Texas cowboys, and the languid, romantic culture of small-town cafes, cheap motels, and dusty landing strips of pre-Vietnam America. The brothers have a lot to resolve among themselves too - as Kern, the shy, meticulous, dedicated dreamer, and Rinker, the rebellious second son, must finally come to understand and depend on each other in the complex way that only brothers can. Most of all, Flight of Passages is a timeless story of fathers and sons. These 2 young men must separate from their difficult, quirky father - literally by putting a country's distance between them - but they do it on their father's terms: in an airplane. As he looks back, from the perspective of now being a father himself, Rinker Buck's tale of 2 young men in search of themselves and their country becomes a story about the eternal enigma of family - of the distance and closeness of generations, of peace lost so that understanding can be gained - and it is explored with a storytelling power that is both brave and rare.

Sweet coming of age story
Reviewed: 11-05-15
Flight of Passage is a story about two brothers and their Dad. It's also a story about the youngest pilots ever to fly cross country back in 1066. Once you get past all the flight jargon, it's the simple, sweet, enjoyable reflections by the youngest brother that make this an enjoyable listen.

Amputations, family tiffs, and the Civil War
Reviewed: 04-25-15
Mary Sutter wants to be a surgeon. Then the Civil War gives her the opportunity. This book presented a stark, and most likely accurate, horrific picture of the Civil War. This was a time when modern medicine was In Its infancy. The setting is interesting, but the fictional characters were not as appealing as they might have been.
