Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere was an entertaining, intense and thrilling book, gripping with suspense.
In Neverwhere, Neil Gaiman writes about a young man named Richard Mayhew. Richard lives an ordinary life, a boring life, where nothing seems to really have an impact on his life, where decisions aren’t that important. As you read further into the book Richard will have to change himself, as he find the body of the lady Door lying on the sidewalk, he “fell through the cracks” into a twisted and mirrored version of the London he knew, known as London Below. Down here he will have to learn to survive, where every decision could mean the difference between life and death. Where he will learn that not everything is always what you expect.

Eoin Colfer manage to amaze me with his adventurous and interesting story “Airman”
I thought this book is great and is based on a topic not covered by many books. The author managed to make the main character go through many obstacles, as soon as he is done with one of them, he is immediately put into another one. Conor Broekhart, who is the main character in this book, was born in a air balloon to a wealthy family, friends of the king.
He grew up wanting to become the first man to set flight, but soon all that is changed once he discovered a plan to assassinate the King, with him caught in between. Now, thinking his family hates and have betrayed him, with everyone else thinking he has killed the king. In order to set things straight he must survive a prison/work-camp, with only a single friend who is his cell mate along with a few lessons of sword dualing experience, and befriend a gang of criminals and finally achieve his dream of flight to escape and track down the assassin who has now also put his family in danger. Eoin Colfer will have you, like the character, racing through the pages towards an exciting ending.This is a great thrilling story which will manage to entertain readers of all ages.

Out of all the 7 Trustees I really liked Lord Sunday the best, the ending was great and I never thought it would end this way, there were also some parts I wish didn't happen such as when the Mariner had to free the Will but overall it was a great book to end the series.
