Silver In The Sun. As someone who loves travelling and finds airports fascinating it was a fun light read. I would definitely recommend it as a quick beach, flight or journey read. Just what I needed to get me back into the swing of reading. I feel like I have been so busy atm that I haven't had much time to read, so it was n I got this book out as I wanted to read something quick and easy in a few days.
I feel like I have been so busy atm that I haven't had much time to read, so it was nice to read something short and sweet. Oct 17, Christina Rochester rated it it was amazing. Oh I'm so sad that this already over. I loved most of these short stories and the way that they all intertwined gave me a little thrill. I think my favourite had to be the one following UKBA, and afterwards I was disappointed to find that my own medical conditions would prevent me from joining their ranks. But at least thanks to Tony Parsons I had the opportunity to follow them for a day.
These really are some lovely little stories although you may want a tissue handy for Fur Actually.
Apr 01, Ilona rated it really liked it Shelves: Charming collection of feel-good short stories about a large airport. Heath Row, but I'm sure it could be any large airport. Though I thoroughly enjoyed the stories myself, it occurred to me this would be a great book for an adult to read to an older child. Eight or nine and up. I read to my kids well past the age that they could read by themselves.
It's a lovely shared family activity. I read this collection of the stories really slowly, because I really wanted to enjoy every single one the most I possibly can. And it was worth it. Tony Parsons really did not waste his time at the airport. Well written stories with strong messages. Easy five-stars for this one.
I expected nothing less from him.

Mislio je na starost uz nekoga. Jul 04, Cristina rated it it was ok Shelves: I enjoyed learning certain original facts about heathrow such as the animal centre or the tower but was not particularly impressed with the style nor the sequence of chapters. Could have been much more interesting and original. Jan 06, Julian rated it really liked it. Good collection of short stories, giving an insight into various aspects of Heathrow life.
As usual with Parsons accurate in detail but also big in the human side of everyday life.

Simple but heart warming stories, a quick but enjoyable read. Aug 09, Juwita rated it liked it. Oct 03, Ipswichblade rated it it was ok. Very average book of short stories.

From the brilliant twenty-something kids who control the skies up in Air Traffic Control to the softly-spoken man who cares for the dogs, lions and smuggled rattlesnakes at Heathrow's Animal Reception Centre, from the immigration officers who have heard it all before to the firemen who hone their skills by setting the green plane on fire, from the armed police who watch for terrorist attacks to the pilots who have touched the face of god - Heathrow teems with life.
