I guess it depends on where you're coming from! I read "Flying With Angels" when I had decided I was going to return to flying after about 20 years. The book fired up my curiosity about microlights, whereas I had previously been a PA28 driver.
I had a trial flight in a weight shift machine and was hooked. During my training I had a few "moments" when I could really relate to Kevin Rutland's experiences.
There is a wonderful purity in flying a weightshift machine at about 50 knots, with fantastic all-round visibility, whilst "feeling" the air you are flying through; I think Kevin Rutland describes that sensation well. I don't think the experience is the same in a CT2K.
