Rendition During Books Airman

In the 1890s Conor and his family live on the sovereign Saltee Islands, off the Irish coast. Conor spends his days studying the science of flight with his tutor and exploring the castle with the king’s daughter, Princess Isabella. But the boy’s idyllic life changes forever the day he discovers a deadly conspiracy against the king. When Conor tries to intervene, he is branded a traitor and thrown into jail on the prison island of Little Saltee. There, he has to fight for his life, as he and the other prisoners are forced to mine for diamonds in inhumane conditions. There is only one way to escape Little Saltee, and that is to fly. So Conor passes the solitary months by scratching drawings of flying machines on the prison walls. The months turn into years; but eventually the day comes when Conor must find the courage to trust his revolutionary designs and take to the air.

Critique Based On Books Airman

February 13-14, 2019Has it really been that long since I read this book? Sad! It's sooooo good! I went to my 3rd grader's book fair, which was in their school library, and saw this on the shelf. I was like, "Yaaaasss I want to read it again!!!" So I did. :) What a great book!!November 1-3, 2013Only 42 stars, Past Sara? Really? I know you were trying to be funny with the Hitchhiker's reference there, but you were seriously undervaluing this book!It's AWESOME. Conor is THE BEST EVAR!!! It's kind

Who couldn't love this book. Dare I say, this is Eoin Colfer's best work. I mean, I'll always be AF af, but this is pretty darn good. It kept me hooked all the way through, and it's got such great progression.Also, can we just take a second to appreciate that name? CONOR BROEKHART Not to mention, Hugo Bonvilain, who is surprisingly the villain. Plot twist.But really, this is a fantastic book and I absolutely loved it.

I read this to my step-daughter. We had read Colfers previous books all of which we enjoyed, so we were looking forward to this one. It was a disappointment. None of Eoin Colfers books are exactly realistic, in the Artemis Fowl series for instance, fairies, centaurs and wild, impossible schemes abound, but theres a sense of fun, a playfulness that keeps the reader entertained and engaged. The Airman is serious, bleak even, so that there is nothing to balance the pure comic book evil of the

First of all, let me say that I am a total Eoin Colfer fan. Really. I bought this book without knowing anything about it except that Eoin Colfer wrote it--and I usually don't do that. He is such a skilled writer though. He effortlessly juggles pacing, dialogue, action, internal thought, characterization, description--all of it. He makes it look easy. And in omniscient point of view too.That said, I had a major problem with this book. One part was totally unbelievable.*spoiler alert*Oh, I was

An inventive, imaginative story. Simple, but intelligent and emotionally complex. Good character development, even without getting very deep into the characters head. It started out very MG, and as the character grew the narrative grew a bit. But it never got to the point that I would consider it YA, even though the character was 17 at the end. I did have one small complaint, which is probably a manner of taste. (some spoilers) The text was very clear that the character's family was the main

I LOVED THIS BOOK. It's the kind of story that I could read over and over and over again and never get tired of. Review to come soon.

This book is a fun read! I feel like it can appeal to many age groups, and had an interesting storyline.
