The book Airborn is a very good book about how a boy works very hard on an airship to support his family who are in a lot of crises, due to the fact that the father had died on the same airship. I like how the book shows that how the boy does not lose hope and feels all is lost when he does not get the promotion which he had worked on for so long and that would help his family. I also like how a teenage boy stands up to some of the strongest, scariest and most dangerous pirates in the book and does not back away. And when the pirates board the airship a second time he shows great skill, knowledge and interest as he plays the role of many people aboard to do their job.The book has many descriptions on how life was being a steward on an airship and other jobs aboard. In the beginning the boy does some breathtaking, heroic stunts to rescue an old man who later on happens to cause many problems for him, the crew aboard and the passengers. The book is connected to many different parts of the story that link together, and you have to have to remember other previous events for somethings to make sense. If you leave this book for a period of time things might become hard to understand for you may have forgotten about what had happened. You cannot just reread some pages back to get some of the events. The book will be more enjoyable to people who like action, adventure and can stand little violence. ( Amazon customer)
