Air Babylon by Imogen Edwards-Jones & Anonymous386 pages
Completed 6/3/10
A few years ago I read Hotel Babylon and immediately put myself on the waiting list at paperbackswap.com for the other two similar books; Air Babylon and Fashion Babylon. This book follows the same format of Hotel Babylon; a period of 24 hours, written as if one character is experiencing everything but actually is the result of composing the stories from dozens of airline employees.
Surprises, debauchery, and annoying customers that could only be found on an airline, are all requisetely present, but with limited humor. The main character, who was probably meant to be dryly sarcastic, instead read as annoyingly depressing. No situation was so shocking, though, so I was kind of bored throughout.
Fashion Babylon is on it's way, so hopefully that will read a bit more humorous as Hotel Babylon than Air Babylon was.
