Skyjack: The Hunt for D.B. Cooper by Geoffrey Gray
2.0
This audiobook was something I grabbed as I headed off on a roadtrip from Seattle to San Francisco. I didn't know much about DB Cooper, and actually thought he'd done far more than hijack one plane.
First off, while listening I wasn't put off by the narrator, but rather wished that it had been narrated by a frat boy. Perhaps it would be his first run-through of it too, so he'd be mispronouncing words, stumbling over place names, and occasionally chuckling and yelling out "alright, bro". I can tell you this would be great because I did it myself for my passengers and we agreed it was an improvement.
We didn't really like this book much. It was interesting to listen to at first, and also because we were driving between CA and WA, but other than that it was just a bunch of dead ends. I realize this never was solved, but all of the hypotheses and ideas rambling all over were sort of frustrating. I suppose I'd rather read about or listen to one or two ideas.
