Skid - A Book Review

"Skid" by Rene Gutteridge was a fun book to read! First Officer Danny McSweeney prepares for a routine flight from Atalanta to Amsterdam. His flight is joined by an unusual female captain, a tactless co-pilot, a lead flight attendant with a capital Tude, a mentally unstable women with a pet pig to calm her fears, a diamond carrying grandson, a jilted Lucy with her ex and his girlfriend, and the stabling influence of Hank Hazard. Hank's faith in God calms the passengers and crew, and is the connecting force behind this story.

How Danny and Hank eventually meet and join up to make the flight home is a funny and interesting story. Despite the multitude of characters, this book was well worth the time it took to meet them. It makes me want to get the first two of "The Occupational Hazards" novels, "Scoop" and "Snitch." If you get them, please comment! so that I may borrow them if I don't buy them first.

Rene Cutteridge has done her homework to make sure these novels are authentic to their occupation. She is the author of twelve novels, including the Boo series, the Storm series, and the novelization for The Ultimate Gift, as well as Scoop and Snitch, the first two Occupational Hazard novels. She lives with her husband, Sean, and their two children in Oklahoma City.

You may purchase the book at Amazon.com: Skid
