Plane Good

I was in the Atlanta airport, plugging along at a nice pace, when I realized I suddenly had only about 20 minutes to catch my plane. The pacing and suspense built into the ending are fantastic and pull the reader into nervously awaiting the conclusion of Kris Karst's perilous journey. What made it even more suspenseful for myself was the fact that I was trying to finish it before I had to board the plane. I finally said fuck it, I will get to my seat and finish it onboard. I went straight to my seat and eagerly read the final 15 pages. I was able to accomplish this task while being distracted by the tight ass of a young female passenger loading the overhead bin directly next to my aisle seat. The fact that I didn't try to strike up a conversation with this fit young morsel, especially after having been tantalized by the views of countless cute beach bitch ass all over south Florida is a testament to your writing skill, and the empathy developed by the reader for your protagonist, Kris Karst.
The unpredictable nature of having Sylvia return at the end of the book strikes a fear into the reader's heart. The combustible nature of Reggie and Sylvia's relationship also has the reader wondering how it is all going to end.
This novel is a bombastic punch in the face. Filled with sarcasm, outrage, humor, and depravity, it is certainly an entertaining read. The fact it was written by a first time novelist is hard to believe.
The ending is dark and depressing, especially Sylvia's letter.
