SRP 2011 REVIEW: Eoin Colfer is such an amazing author. I'd rank him up with Lewis and Tolkien. His characters are so well established that it makes the reader feel as though they are real people. The story is intricate and keeps me on my toes. Whenever I feel as though I know what's going to happen, a new twist is thrown in and I am once more lost in a world created by a talented man.

SRP 2010 REVIEW: It is a good book. Not the best by Colfer. His Artemis Fowl series is better. The plot drags you in and makes you unable to let go. But it is sooooooooo long that it is boring but catchy. Airman is worth the read, though.
