Robert Laney's Involuntary Reroute was both a humorous and informative read. It follows the development of a young man's airline ticket business. Robert and his mother devised a plan to begin selling low-cost first-class airline tickets. He revealed that the airline industry has been a scam, leading economy class passengers to believe that flying first class costs a lot of money. This mother-son business began before the internet in the 1900s, when he was an undergrad at Babson College studying entrepreneurial studies.

They were able to start the business with no money and make money by training employees thanks to his mother's entrepreneurial skills and his studies. If you'd like to know how they did it, try out this book right now. As a newcomer to the industry, he was taken advantage of by new investors in the company. They gave him 80% ownership and named him president for their selfish purposes. However, when the company began to face difficulties, he was forced to devise solutions to keep the company from failing. Was he successful in saving the company, or did it fail? Read about employee sabotage and airline tricks in Involuntary Reroute.

There were many aspects of this book that I enjoyed. One of them was the straightforward language in which the book was written. Even though the author is mature, he wrote the book in a language that anyone of any age can understand, from teenagers to seniors. I also liked the subject headings. It was both humorous and informative, as it told the reader what to expect to read about. My favorite chapter is "You Orgasm Off the Pain of Others!" When his mother said this to the audit guy, I thought it was hilarious.

This novel teaches many lessons, not only on how to get first-class tickets but also on how to start and run your own successful business. I admire his relationship with his mother and how they grew the business together. Many parents nowadays either allow their children to achieve their goals or simply pass on the business to them, but in this memoir, he and his mother started and grew it together. This was both heartwarming and remarkable to me. If more parents took the time to teach and grow with their children, they would be able to both support and share in their children's success. A parent is a child's first teacher, and if you can help them along the way, we can all live in a better world.

There was nothing I disliked about this novel, and it was professionally edited, with only a few errors found. As a result, I give it a full 5 out of 5 stars. It is a novel that I would recommend to young entrepreneurs over the age of 18. It is educational, funny, and inspirational.
