A super fun read about what it's like to fly on a private jet and some great stories of some famous passengers. A quick light read!

Entertaining

Although not particularly well written, the author shares a lot of fun and interesting stories from a life many undoubtedly envy. Overall, I enjoyed it.

Very disappointed

I don’t think I’ve read a more shallow author. One who is oblivious to child sex trafficking, extreme animal abuse and her own sexual assault by celebrity passengers. I had hoped the book would be fun and entertaining but it fell far short of the mark. It is all about self indulgence at the expense of others. Goes to show anyone can write a book.

Interesting book. Not much premise, other than, "this has been a fun lifestyle." I opened it expecting a bunch of humorous stories; didn't get them, but enjoyed the random anecdotal nature all the same.

Interesting premise and book. But the writing and editing are just plain awful.

Vanity book

If you can’t read it for free don’t bother. Vapid writing. Reads like a list of names and places in the 80s

Grammar errors!!! Some content was interesting, but the book lacked organization and maturity.

More Fiction then Facts?

Written in the frame of a teenager wanting to tell about her first affair but afraid of the results. My bet is this could have been a XXX rated book if the facts were made, a lot more then the author made known to the reader.

The book runs hot and cold. I found the details of the author's work itself very interesting, the celebrity comments were revealing and sometimes surprising, but she can be very snarky. An editor woukd have helped.

Meh.


It was ok. Would have been mad if I'd paid for it. Somewhat interesting, celebrity names were used, funny to hear how they act in private.

Interesting!

She tried to fit too much into one book. Her writing style is a bit jumpy. I would've preferred fewer, longer stories.

A Fun read

She has really interesting stories to tell. If anyone thinks this is an easy job, they are sorely mistaken. Be nice to your Flight Attendant.

Well isn't that special?

The book was rolling along nice until the fourth chapter. Then came the spelling, punctuation, and spacing errors. Plus, the book didn't exactly have a point. I could've ascertained most of the info therein by reading Daily Mail... the writer could've told us more about her home life and little boy. Shucks.

Fast read!

This book was a very fast read. It was interesting to read about not only the rich and famous but about the people who serve them. It gives you a front row seat to a career that I never would have chosen but this book has made fascinating...and me a little jealous I didn't choose it! Very entertaining!

So this is how the other half lives!

To earlier negative reviewers, get over it! So there were a few errors here and there, so what, it was a fun and interesting read. I didn't see truman Capone listed as a co author, so what did you expect? This young lady saw things most of us will never see and lived life to the fullest. Enjoyed this thoroughly.

Interesting idea, I was looking forward to a glimpse in to a world I will likely never see first hand. There were a few good stories and, actually, the portion I enjoyed the most was the information shared on how a plane is prepared for a flight. Unfortunately this book was horrendously edited, full of grammar and layout errors, and very poorly written.

Great book

I r enjoyed this book greatly. However I must complain about the number of typographical errors this book had. Do they have anyone proof read the books before putting them out there for public consumption?

Very fun stories and a quick read!


This book was full of interesting stories about some of Hollywood's elite! It was also a very quick read. I highly recommend this book,it's reminiscent of many episodes of "Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous".

Light fun reading.

Very conversational and light in tone. Interesting but not totally surprising . Not sure I like the " all men are pigs " comment, but I guess if you are naive about sexuality ... Interestingly though her most fun passengers were rock stars... Hmmm .

Too much about the author and not enough about the "Rich and Famous"

Too much about the author and not enough about the "Rich and Famous." Only first half of book is worth reading.

Very quick, light read. I'm sure she could have told tons more. Lots of throwing names around which is truly interesting part.
