Last Flight Out of Oz on Jan. 26, 2012

I read this book in two days because I was intrigued by how it was going to turn out. The novel works on at least three levels - a "coming of age" story, a "cautionary tale," and a good old-fashioned suspense thriller. What makes the novel work on all of these levels is that the authors never forget that their first duty is to tell a good story. I think the authors mean to inspire reflection on the nature of our tightly-coupled world and the spiritual ramifications of living in that sort of world. If so, they succeed on both of those levels. But they properly subordinate those concerns to telling a compelling story. "Last Flight out of Oz," first and foremost, is fun to read! I look forward to the next book by these authors.
