Summary: Hilarious
Review: This book was so funny. I found myself laughing out loud and looking around to see who heard or saw me, because I was truly into the story and forgot where I was. The characters were written so vividly. I could see this as a movie.

Summary: I laughed out loud
Review: This was a fun and quick read. The story was a bit wacky and had a few too many stereotypes. The author makes fun of just about everybody and everything. I was a little disappointed that the women all seemed to be either loose, weak or stupid. But,it was still kinda funny and it would be fun to analyze for a book club.

Summary: A flight to marriage
Review: Wickedly funny and wonderfully told, BAGGAGE CLAIM is a divine debut into the literary world by playwright David E. Talbert. Montana Moore is not only a flight attendant, but she's carrying enough baggage for two or three other people: baggage in her personal life and also in her family life. She is 35 years old and on a mission to find her a husband in 30 days or less using her connections to fly the friendly skies.

The women in Montana's family are obsessed with the idea of marriage and have come up with a ridiculous tradition of putting pressure on any woman nearing thirty who remains unmarried. Montana's the only one left and the noose around her neck starts to tighten as her mother just finalized her fourth marriage and her sister unexpectedly announces her engagement. Montana loses all sane thoughts, dismantles her theory of men and their similarity to various pieces of baggage, and gathers her flying buddies Sam and Gail for a master plan.

Sam and Gail have major work to do, but manage to reinvent Montana and get her ready for the flight of her life, as they go through her address book selecting men who will make marriage material for her. After checking the airline schedules, they are able to find out when the men will be taking flights for the holidays and in order to make the project work, Montana is set up to "accidentally" bump into them. Imagine it. Five different men, in five different cities across the United States; all with a history. From an imitation P.Diddy to a spineless minister, to a wealthy millionare and an attorney, she hopes to find "the one" who will help her break the "Moore Family Curse" and arrive at her sister's engagement party with an announcement of her own.

Getting from point A to point B in BAGGAGE CLAIM is outright hilarious. The dialogue of the characters intertwined with the proposterous plan of finding a fiance' by flying through the friendly skies will keep you reading this book from cover to cover. Talbert has a knack for bringing these characters to life and what a great transformation it was. I fell in love with some of the protagonists and felt a sense of loss as the story ended. He did a wonderful job of showing the reader that sometimes traditions are not always what they're cracked up to be and that they should not always determine how you run your life.
