Average Rating:
 Rating: - Definitely a keeperLoved it. Joss was a wonderfully drawn character as were most of the secondary characters. Wasn't so sure about Stella, who seemed to fall in and out of love far too easily. But it didn't really spoil the story, apart from giving me a slight pause towards the end. Still a five star read and I'm very much looking forward to JH's next book. Rating: - A spiffing readHaving read the other reviews of this book I was under the impression that Mr Holland would be a gentleman of greater years than he is. I was surprised to see what a young whipper-snapper he is, judging by the photograph on the insider cover. Anyway, I say this because to have such passion and apparent depth of knowledge for a subject that occured outside one's lifetime shows either a real devotion to the subject, or personal experience -which obviosuly isn't possible. This passion and knowledge is certainly carried through his pen (his apparent fondness for by-gone times makes me suspect that he, charmingly, prefers old fashioned ways, such a pen and ink rather than a computer). A thrilling read throughout! I am dyslexic and find reading ...

Holland creates a very visual experiance throughout the book and keep you on the edge of your seat wondering what Joss Lambert could be up to next. Joss's experiance of flight and dogfights are amazingly written. The detailed descriptions make you feel like you're there too and part of what the character is experiencing. You almost feel like you're a part of Joss's life, a fly on the wall. James Holland is an absolute legend! Rating: - GrippingJames Holland has written a masterpiece of a novel here. The way he flits between different dates and locations could well have lead to a very jumbled story, but he has let the story flow fantastically well. His accounts of combat flying leave you breathless, and draws a very vivid pciture of what arial combat may have felt like, as do his accounts of life in pre and wartime England. I am certainly looking forward to more from Mr Holland's pen. |
