Flight is a very enjoyable read. The quick pace provides for low stress reading and allows for the book to be finished rather quickly. Although this trait can be criticized as "simple", I appreciate this fact as it makes the book easier to enjoy. It is a nice change of pace from the other novels my Honors English class has read this year which are dominated by complex writing structures.

There is a lot of action in the book which is also very appealing. The novel literally "flies" by as the main character, Zits, jumps back and forth in history experiencing different events. The frequent and sudden changes in scenery leave no time for dull moments in the story.

Most likely taking away from Flight's "literary value" is the overtness of its themes. While this does not bother me at all, the novel does not leave room for much speculation from the reader as ideas are quite obviously explained in the reading.

Due to its main character, Zits, Flight is a very appealing novel for teenagers. While representing a very extreme case of adolescent anger, Zits' issues can be appreciated by most young adults. It also doesn't hurt that Zits is a very humourous individual.
