review 1: Stuart Harrison's novel is a combination WWI story about air battles, a love story with a few twists, and a commentary on the British class structure of the early 1900s. The first part of the story is about William Reynolds and how he eventually forms relationships with other characters that lead to additional plot lines. The writing is good, but slightly repetitive and just a little predictable. The ending was abrupt. The author definitely makes a point about how the war's brutality changes William and other characters. Overall, an interesting read. This is my first book by Stuart Harrison, and I would certainly read others.
review 2: I really enjoyed this book...which takes place in the early 1900's.A young man whose father is a blacksmith and whose mother ha... mored died finds he has a wealthy grandfather who pay for him to attend a very prestigious boys' school. He never really fit it and after graduation he returned to his father. The father passed shortly after and the story follows the young man's journey of trying to find work and have his life.He is a skilled mechanic and eventually opens his own garage...as luck would have it a "flying machine" crashes and the story takes off as he becomes interested in flying and building airplanes,Lots of twists and turns...love...love lost...and progresses into WWII found it very interesting the description of what it was like to fly in those days and the descriptive battles fought in the air during the war...things we no longer think about less
