Wonderful Book

Submitted by fieroriv on January 16, 2008 - 20:23.

I loved this book! It held my interest and they was no junky dating drama.I kind of spaced out while reading the fight scenes at the end, though. Did anybody enjoy that part? The whole luxury airship plot was cool and there were pirates! Anybody have any ideas about the creatures. I thought they were strange and a little unbelievable. does anyone remeber what year the book was supposed to be set in?

Good Book

Hey, I think this book is really good and I think that Matt the main character is a good character. If I had a choice to have this guy as my friend I would probably have him as a friend because he’s a brave person and he get the job done, and does what he is told to do by the captain of the Aurora. I specially like that the part where he was the only one who volunteered to go up to the other air craft and bring it back down and brought it to the Aurora, after he volunteered to go up and bring the of air craft because everyone else on the Aurora was scared of heights when they went up on the crane plus another reason why he went was because he was the lightest one on the blimp. Then I’m at this part right now where they just brought in the ornithopter and they missed the first try to land on the Aurora so they went in a second time and made it. And after they got off they the rich women was being all snobby to Matt when he was trying to help, and the only person who is nice to him was the girl that around 15, his age. And they way he talking about her sounds like she likes her. Even though he’s a cabin boy he is really apart of the main things that go on through the parts of this story. He ends up doing all of the things that nobody else wants to do like serve breakfast to the crew and goes and brings down a blimp.

awesome

I didn't think this book was going to be that good, but afer i got to chapter five, it starts getting a lot better. If you haven't read up to that chapter, and think that the book sucks, then just keep reading.

yeah

Matt Cruse

One of our assignments in english class is to tell whether our main character in our book is static or dynamic. Matt Cruse is pretty much static up to chapter five (where i'm up to right now). He basically is a cabin boy in a big blimp called the 'Aurora' and is a waiter, tour guide, and watch out in the crow's nest.
