Re: Airman
Ya not as good as old Arty. It was an excellent compelling read but it was......jumpy. I find the event jumping or some of the description (or lack of) made it confusing. Colfer could have added a litte more.....reasons for why things happen. But overall it was a very good book and storyline.
The best comedy around. Monty Python. Please, don't hesitate to look them up.

Re: Airman
I loved Airman, it made a change from all the magical fantasy stuff I read. Artemis Fowl is still better though. But why did Victor die *sobs* he was so awesome...

Re: Airman
I love Connor. He's one of my favorite characters by Colfer. It wasn't a match to Arty, but it is definitely one of my favorite books.

Re: Airman
ok, Airman. Well, i havent read the whole book im still trying to finish it. but so far i lov it! let me just say, i HATE Marshall Bonvilain!!! He's a f***** b****!!! there r so many bad things i wanna call him right now!!!
And I saw it was filled with graves,
And tomb-stones where flowers should be:
And Priests in black gowns, were walking their rounds,
And binding with briars, my joys & desires.

Re: Airman
I found Connor's story very interesting and his love story with Isabella cute, but I do wish that Colfer had given some of the action to Isabella, made her a bigger part of the story, a heroine. Colfer always focuses on the boys, his only exception, of course, being Holly.

Dr. Spencer Reid, played by Matthew Gray Gubler, on Criminal Minds, is the most amazing guy in the world. And HE'S ALL MINE!!!

Love hurts like a sharp arrow--why else would everyone draw an arrow through their hearts? But going without it hurts even more.

My favourite was Princess Isabella.

Re: Airman
I liked Isabella, but as others have said, I do wish she had had a stronger role in the story.
I love the fact that Airman reminded me a bit of The Princess Bride. X'D It kept me on the edge of my seat, and I was devastated when I read about his imprisonment.
Definitely one of my favorite books by Eoin.

Re: Airman
Gosh, it's been ages since I've read Airman, I have fond memories from it though. Probably worth another read through.
