- Absolutely Brilliant!
Although I didn't buy this book off of Amazon, I thought I'd review it anyway. I'll just start off by saying that if you're expecting another Artemis Fowl, this isn't it. That's not to say this isn't at least as good as the AF books but in my humble opinion it's a lot darker and older. The humour's still there though and I personally thought it was great. It's swashbuckilng, daring, and somehow Colfer makes it all seem believable. Buy It Now!!!

- Amazing story
An amazing story, let down by the lack of pace and flow. The story is very original, although not up there with the Alex Rider, Jason Steed, James Bond and Jimmy Coates, its better than Cody Banks.

- Airman is..........different

- rip-roaring lift off for new Dumas
Much as we love the Artemis Fowl books, this is something finer. Conor Broekhardt is born in the air (readers who love this kind of thing should also look out for Kenneth Oppel's AIRBORN and SKYBREAKER, which have a similar premise)to his proud youg parents.

Conor is set up to take the blame, believed dead and taken in an iron mask to Little Saltee where prisoners spend their lives digging for diamonds.

Here both his scientific mind and his prowess ... Read More:

The Airman (which i only finnished reading this moring) was an amazing read, it had all the ingredients needed for a good story: intresting characters, priness's and invetion. the story of connors flying matchine was a great one. i found myself quite often in the story shouting at him to do somthing, but then i relised i was jsut predicting what would happen, so arfter a while he did eventualy do what i told him to (A Book that listens to me!)
i picked up The Airman without even reading the blurb, Eoin Colfer has got to be my favorate writter from storys such as the Artimis fowl series and the Supernatralists which were all amazing books.

the only downside to this book was that i have now read it and want more. (ill just have ... Read More:
