Involuntary Reroute by Robert Laney explores the origins of airline deceit while recalling the journey of a young entrepreneur who transformed a contentious idea into a multinational business. Airlines have utilized backroom measures to replace empty first-class tickets since the 1980s, including secret city tickets and AD75s. The designer of these tactics was a 19-year-old college student hired by airlines and private investors to address problems covertly for their profit. When a Babson College student used this knowledge to create the world's first booking website based on airfare deception for the benefit of flyers, history was made.

As Laney noted, information is your best weapon against airlines' deceptive fare tricks, making involuntary rerouting more important than ever. You must have an idea to run a profitable business or run a successful firm. You must have an entrepreneurial spirit. Sometimes you have to look for something that no one else is looking for in order to get what you want.

While reading this book, I discovered that there are business opportunities everywhere. All you have to do is recognize the demand and supply the service while being compensated. When the opportunity presented itself, when Kodak opportunity came up, he seized it. I also discovered that by using the proper caption in an ad, you are guaranteed to have a high level of interaction. 

Another crucial lesson I learned as an aspiring entrepreneur is that money is always there for excellent ideas, good enterprises, and fantastic bargains. It's not easy, but if you're perceptive, tenacious, and resourceful, you can generally locate what you're looking for, but be warned: obtaining the money is the simple part. Managing a scenario when things don't go as planned is significantly more difficult. This was evident in all of his trials.

I enjoyed the author's writing style; it was direct and vulgar. He brought up a variety of topics to provide us with perspective based on his expertise and character. He was able to walk us through the mistakes they made while establishing their company, and I must say that I learned a lot from it. When it came to the business strategy he adopted, I felt Jack made numerous blunders. He was stuck after repeatedly repeating the same model. In my opinion, he should have taken a different approach. After everything they went through, he was able to make some progress. 

This book is incredibly well-edited, and I couldn't find anything to hate about it. For these reasons, I give it a 4 out of 4 stars rating and suggest it to anyone interested in learning about the politics of an airline ticketing corporation and entrepreneurship.
