Airport is a bestselling 1968 novel by Arthur Hailey about a large metropolitan airport and the personalities of the people who use, rely and suffer from its operation. This book was adapted into a major motion picture starring Burt Lancaster, George Kennedy, Dean Martin and Van Heflin, among others.
"Predictable" and "formulaic" aptly describe this Arthur Hailey novel, which follows a cast of characters whose loves and lives converge at Lincoln International Airport outside Chicago. Yet through skillful abridgment and Victor Garber's ability to depict characters with various accents, this fast-paced audiobook is quite enjoyable.It would make great listening for a long trip.
