A thoroughly enjoyable read. I enjoy the way Oppel writes, and the steam punk, Victorian-inspired world he creates is just my kind of thing. Great characterisation, a fun idea and a clever plot as always.I thought this was a great sequel to "Airborn;" it was full of the exciting action and well-described characters--not to mention a most intriguing "world"--that made the first book so good. I really like how the author mixes an old-fashioned era with technology, and Matt Cruse's world is realistic and memorable. I was a little surprised by how eerie and scary (for me) some of the chapters and scenes were; I probably shouldn't have been reading those at night ;-) Not that that was a bad thing--I
This is the sequel to Oppells Airborn, which I read and loved last year. If anything, I liked Skybreaker better. Oppell does a great job capturing the spirit of classic boy adventures like Treasure Island and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (which admittedly I never read as a boy, but I caught up with later). In Skybreaker, our young hero Matt Cruse spots a ghost ship of the air, the Hyperion, and inadvertently launches a frenzied hunt for the massive treasure that is supposedly on board. The only

Good read, solid adventure. Why three stars? No quibbles with this book, it's well-plotted and the characters are distinct. It's just that I was able to put the book down for long periods of time and forget about it and then dive back into it. Loved the plot twist on inexhaustible clean energy. Now if only!
Another great full-cast audiobook version! I very much enjoyed this worthy sequel to the excellent "Airborn" which I loved. (SPOILERS FOR ANYONE WHO HAS NOT READ AIRBORN. And, if you don't want to know a thing about what happens in "Skybreaker" stop reading now and just go read the book!! It's awesome!!!)The story begins with a bang as Matt Cruse finds himself in the midst of a storm while on board an airship. It was strange at first that he wasn't on the Aurora but, of course, he has joined the
As good an airborn but much, much higher up. 20,000 feet up!
