I liked Matt as a character because of his strong sense of duty and his struggle to deal with the unexpected death of his father. I hope Oppel’s latest movie deal works out, because Airborn is made for the big screen. From luxury airships to the desperate battle against villainous pirates to getting caught in a raging typhoon, I felt like I was watching the story visually unfold and it was breath-taking. What I loved about Oppel’s writing is the fact that I could see the entire tale clearly in my head. Review: Airborn by Kenneth Oppel is epic adventure story. Their journey across the Pacificus will be the most memorable of their lives as they encounter pirates, typhoons, and a creature no one but them believes is real: the cloud cat. Matt’s dedication to his ship never wavers though, but when a spirited passenger named Kate starts shaking up his life he struggles with having to choose between his beloved ship and his growing attraction to her. Summary: Working on an airship to support his mother and sisters after the death of his father, Matt is more at home in the air than he is on the ground. His part in the recovery of a hot air balloon and its passenger puts him in line for a promotion, but he is passed up in favor of a young man who has gone to airship school.
