I find flying a special topic that is interesting and pretty cool so after reading this book review, this book is now on my to read list. I like how stories develop from simple life events and how choices have deep consequences that overlap with unexpected characters. Congrats on the BOTD!

I like books with a hidden twisted title. Flying becomes part of the book by flying low symbolises how Matt uses his father to fight for him his battles by looking into his past or current dirty dealings. This book is crucial for young adults going into a relationship and parents. Letting go your love may hurt but it's better to walk away than be like Matt whose father ends up in worse situations than he can handle. He ought to have counseled his son but decided to encourage him fight for his love. The book cover is just amazing relating to the luxurious cars for Matt and also piloting as a career and also its involvement in the action.

You said in your review, "This is the kind of story that starts with an event that seems even trivial, but then the situation escalates in unexpected ways. The characters make choices that have consequences they didn't expect."

This quality makes for entertaining reading. Thanks for your apt remark and good review!

Crime thrillers are one of the best to come across, Jason being a flying instructor uses the opportunity to smuggle drugs without being noticed. And Vladimir also saw the opportunity to expand he’s illegal business by giving Jason an offer to work with him.
So its all about the two men seeing the opportunity to do their illegal business by air, hence the name “low flying “.its an interesting story :techie-reference:

Crime-thriller isn't really my preferred genre. Considering how largely positive the review is, I believe the book will be better appreciated by readers interested in this genre. Great review as always.

Jealousy and greed seem to be strong forces behind the actions of the characters in this book. Personally I think Matt’s girlfriend stirred up the issues in this book. Nice book.

A romantic spit spat leads to an entire drama filled plot. That an the idea of Jason using planes to smuggle drugs is an idea not really far fetched. With the growth of drug usage in the world

A crime thriller with love, crimes and fights as its major themes. I'm not sure if really I'd read the book because of these themes, but from the review, it sounds like a great book for the right audience. Great work.

A crime thriller "Low Flying" by John Reynolds, which is set in New Zealand follows a university student in Auckland, Matt Bullock who takes fight against his flying instructor. I am excited to read this book.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.
