Alex Comerford needs Brown Milk Immediately
|
This book is an absolute hoot. How anyone could not find humour and charm in something so real and true is beyond belief. If you want a pat, beginning, middle and end fictional novel, this is not it, it's absolutely raw. And all the better for this trait. I personally am delighted it didn't come from a publisher (or published, as Mr Comerford would have it, see how hard it is to proof your own words Alex?) It would have been cut to the bone, pre-packaged and formulated, like most of the contents of bookstores today. For this reason, it is completely refreshing. You know this is just fun for them, they are not authors and they accept it, but they have some wonderfully witty stories to tell.
Liz and Julie are upfront, cheeky and very opinionated, but it's their book, their world and their lives so why shouldn't they be? I lived this book, and it is one of the funniest things I have ever read. If you want a real review of this book, see Scott Pack's words, as the former head buyer for Waterstones and a full time and much respected reviewer, his opinion on how funny this is is the one to read.
Buy it, if you don't laugh along with these two ladies, then life is not the joy it should be.

What a complete load of rubbish

I'm not sure what everyone else who has reviewed this was on, probably the 'Brown Milk' discussed in the book, but this book is one of the worst written books I have ever read. No wonder it had to be self published, no real published would touch it. The style of writing is confused and self congratulating with no cohesion. Don't waste your money.

"Funny" doesn't even start to describe this book
|
You will laugh your knickers off when you read this book!!! Its laugh out loud funny, very honest and very true. As a experienced cabin crew member myself I can relate to many of the story's written or heard similar tales so you know its 100% true (unlike so many other's claim!).
A must for anybody who works, wants to work or is just interested in the role of cabin crew. Even worth reading if your a passenger - just so you learn how to behave in future! Looking forward to the next book.

Liz and Julie well and truly!

I am very lucky to have received a copy of this book, which was only one of a few to be distributed for proof reading.
As someone who does not work in the airline industry, I really did not know what to expect from this book. I've read 'babylon-esque' books previously and expected this to be of the same stuff. How wrong I was! This book goes way beyond the kinky revelations we all know and (love to) hate. You F'Coffee Sir is a book of real substance, giving amazing insight into the flying world of two air hostesses who have chosen to share their lives with us.
The quality of the writing style is a real rarity, in that its narrative excellence made me think I was sat with the girls, enjoying their conversations, seeing what they see and doing what they do. As Northerners, the true to life lingo and cheeky, lovable accents of Liz and Julie is apparent in every written word. It really draws you in as a reader!
They have written the book as a handbook for budding cabin crew, like a flying bible, but even if this is not your aim you will find it hard to not laugh (and cry) at the experiences these two girls have compiled into this classy, intelligent and exciting read.

What a Fantastic read!
|
I have recently read a collection of flying novels but nothing even slightly compares the this book, it is "fantastic"- a true insight into the flying industry- no false stories and ridiculous accusations! It is comical, entertaining and an absolute must for anyone with a hint of intrest for the industry- a true handbook for those who want a carrer in the sky and a superb book for enjoying on the beach whilst on your holidays!
I loved it and only hope there is a follow up!
