Summary: A good read
Comment: The headline says it all. I don't have to repeat myself. The book's about food poisoning on a cross-country flight. The
pilot and copilot, and most of the passengers, are affected
by food poisoning. The flight crew and the passengers affected by it had ordered the beef. The rest ordered chicken. One of the passengers was a pilot in the war. He
has to take over when the pilot becomes incapacitated. When the copilot becomes ill, the head stewardess, yes, that's what they were called in the days before political correctness, has to take over for him. However, the passenger who takes over for the pilot, hasn't flown in years and has to be talked through it by another pilot on the ground. Another review compared it to Airplane! Airplane! was a spoof of those '70s disaster movies. It wasn't based on this book.

Summary: The beginning of the Hailey legacy.
Comment: Runway Zero-Eight is the epitome of the page-turner. A very fun read that set the stage for Hailey's later successes.
The only problem is that it's hard to read today without thinking of the movie "Airplane!"; this book was one of the primary sources of inspiration for that parody, and at key moments in the drama of "Runway Zero-Eight" you may find yourself being reminded of one of the absurdly silly scenes in the movie. Just suppress those thoughts and enjoy the story.
Rating: 5
Summary: This is the book of the century!
Comment: If you can get a copy of this you had better get it! If you like edge of your seat can't put it down type of reading this is it. It keeps you wanting more and keeps giving you more.
