The Boy Who Fell Out of the Sky

The Boy Who Fell Out of the Sky (2006) by Ken Dornstein. Dornstein's brother, David, was a passenger aboard Pan Am Flight 103, which was blown out of the sky over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988. This book tells the true story of Ken's efforts to trace his brother's history up to the time of the crash -- reading David's notebooks, visiting Lockerbie, even becoming romantically involved with two of David's former girlfriends. I found it very involving and a vivid portrait of a troubled young man. Grade: A
