Summary: Magical
Comment: In just days, my local Barnes & Noble nearly sold out its floor display of Born to Fly. While I rarely went beyond reading romance books, I loved this book. This book's foundation in reality, not fantasy, didn't diminish its magical literary power. It's much more interesting than Mark Twain.
Pilot-turned-Author Mr. Osborne, who's as handsome as Tom Cruise in Top Gun, reminds us that our world's exploding with danger. The description of his experience is intense. This book will lead to a whole generation of young Americans discovering the world outside of our continent.
Rating: 4
Summary: A must read
Comment: An awesome book for anyone who has ever had any interest in Naval Aviation. A story of courage and heroism. Very easy to understand and a great short read.
Rating: 3
Summary: A great story but a questionable book
Comment: As a military pilot, I'm of course drawn to stories such as these. A family member got the book for me as a gift, and upon seeing the front cover of the book, something immediately just said "generic". However, that being said, I would actually recommend the book to someone who isn't intimately familiar with flying or the military. Despite the skittish storyline, it's actually a quite readable and inspirational book that will likely invoke a bit of patriotism.
Nevertheless, I think some people, especially professional aviators, might find it hard to like this book, even if they want to. To me, every page seemed to be written with the intent of someday being read in front of a camera for a bad made for TV movie...but maybe I'm just being overly crtical. The story, in and of itself, is a great one (although covered almost in its entirety in the news), but I thought the literary qualities of "Born to Fly" just left much to be desired.
