Myles Carrington was raised in a family that belonged to a religious group called the sect. His parents believed and strictly followed the rules that were set by the sect, especially his father. After completing his high school, Myles wanted to join a university, but his father did not allow him to join because he believed that the university would erode the good morals he had been taught and that it was full of atheist secularism. His father advised him to study trade, in which he majored in woodwork. Myles had strongly opposed opinions and ideas regarding the religious group and challenged it severally, which eventually led to his excommunication from the religious group and his family.

Myles had to move out and live by what he strongly believed in. He used the skills he gained to maneuver through life. He became interested in planes, and he considered getting a license as a private pilot. One day an airshow was held near where he was, and he got more determined to fly big planes. He then later applied to become an Air Force pilot. His application to join and train as an Air Force pilot went through, and he began his training. How was his life in training? Did he ever mention being a pilot to his parents? Read more about Myles's life in the book called "MYLES CARRINGTON Pilot Officer" by Arthur Fishburn.

There were so many aspects of the book that I appreciated. The courage Myles Carrington had was incredible. It's quite difficult to challenge your parent's beliefs when it comes to religious matters, but Myles did that courageously, and when he felt it was too much, he did the unexpected thing—moved out. I liked his determination and perseverance throughout his life; having to struggle through life alone without involving his parents was the hardest decision that he made. I liked how he carried himself around, especially when he was around bosses that he worked for, trying to save for the career that he admired, and also around his new friends at the training.

While there was so much that I appreciated about the book, I also found an aspect that I disliked. The book was written in different text colors that were unevenly distributed across the book. At first, I thought the different text colors were used for emphasis until I found different text colors in one word. I also found a grammatical error in the book. 

I give "MYLES CARRINGTON pilot officer" a rating of 4 out of 5 stars. I deducted one star because of the different use of text colors even in one word and the error I found. The story was, however, interesting and engaging.The book was also well organized; I enjoyed reading the monologue and dialogue within the story. 

I recommend it to young, ambitious adults because the book is encouraging. It encourages young people to pursue their dream careers despite the challenges they might face; at the end of it, the sacrifice will be worth it. Adults are ideal readers because the book contains some slurs. I can't wait to read more about Myles Carrington in Book II.

Post by Mary John 10 »

Myles Carrington is a story about a young man raised in a strict religious sect with rigid beliefs. His parents, particularly his father, adhere firmly to the sect's rules, which include rejecting higher education in favor of trade skills. Despite his father's objections, Myles dreams of attending university, believing it would offer him broader perspectives. However, his father forbids it, fearing the secular influence it would have on his morals. Myles, with strong, opposing views on the sect's doctrines, challenges its beliefs, leading to his eventual excommunication from both the religious group and his family.
