    “One of my favorite narrative nonfiction books - the thrilling, tragic true story of one idealistic, radical 1960s couple turned internationally-wanted fugitives in the golden age of "skyjacking"... I'm sure would read great on the page too, but devoured this on a long drive to San Francisco and it made the miles fly by. (If it sounds to you like it would make a great movie/series, you're not the only one! I even emailed with the author about this but seems unfortunately it's been stuck in development hell for years.)”
