Airman Book Review - You have to read this!!!

Yes, I know that I said this whole movie-review thing I was doing would go on for 5 posts, but to be honest, I really can't think of any animated movies that haven't been talked about for at least a decade already. Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Shrek, and all that jazz.
Besides, I promised a friend (Whose identification will remain anonymous for the duration of this upload) that I would review Airman as soon as I could. (Speaking of which, I should probably move on to some kind of other article series, like trivia (yeah)!
  Eoin Colfer.



You either know nothing about this humble man, or think that he is a fantastic author that should win a Nobel Peace prize just because he exists. I fill the latter. And so does pretty much everybody in the world who has read Colfer's works.
There's really nothing to say about Airman that can't just be experienced yourself. It tells a tale that adapts itself to suit the opinions and personality of anyone who reads it. Have you lost a friend or family member recently and mourn for them? Then this story will feel like is was written directly for you. Are you undergoing financial issues or trying to find a job? Then you'll be touched by the book's unique atmosphere.

That being said, though, a lot of characters and plot points are stereotypical. That doesn't detract from the experience, but it is something that wore down on my mind the farther and farther.
Airman is an untouched masterpiece, and it's quite disappointing that most readers haven't heard the story of Connor Broekhart and read this epic. (Though rumor has it Disney will be in charge of making a film adaptation of Airman in 2015. Hooray!) Airman is fantastic, and earns the congratulatory score of...
9.1 MESMERIZING
+ It's Eoin Colfer, you know it's good.
+ Anybody will enjoy it. from 9 to 99 ( p.s. If you're 100 or older, than you'll hate this book. ha ha.)
