There are laughs at everyone's expense in this slick, sometimes
raunchy spoof.- Publishers' Weekly. As a writer, (Denny) Hatch is
no slouch. In a mirror-slick, ribald style, he has fleshed out his
wishbone with a cast of characters that would make Thorne Smith
whirl in his grave. A lovable Nazi, an ebullient Greek with two
phones in his Cadillac, a National Guard Colonel who wants to take
on the 101st Airborne and a neighbor named E. Kirk Hall are just a
few of the batty but believable characters who help make the whole,
wild idea seem almost plausible. And Hatch can be very funny.
Cedarhurst Alley will not have airline executives queuing up at
bookstores to rush copies to their stockholders. But if taken in
the vein in which it was undoubtedly written, it is a humorous,
highly readable book.- Business and Commercial Aviation. Moreover,
the book is not what you would expect. It is sound enough
technically to satisfy the stomachs of controllers and pilots-a
burp here or there perhaps. It should also satisfy the legal
beagles. There are exaggerations sure, but the author has done a
masterful job of researching and studying the noise problem. at
once hilarious, provocative-and sobering.- Journal of ATC (Air
Traffic Control). The serious undercurrent tends to be forgotten
because of Mr. Hatch's playful approach, his frequent
tongue-in-cheek fooling, and general humor which ranges from some
clever dialogue and snappy observations to wildly imaginative
characters and musings.- Best Sellers.
