Summary: One of Crichton's Best
Review: Of all Michael Crichton's novels, Airframe has to be one of the best. It was action packed all the way through with factual information added all the way though. You had no clue what he was going to hit you with next and what was going to happen to Casey next. A recomemded book to read if you're interested in Airplanes or Michael Crichton as a writer

Summary: Like an airline meal, you can probably do better yourself
Review: I have enjoyed every Crichton book I've ever read, but this one is a poor example of his capability. As another reviewer mentions, I have been contemplating writing a novel myself; I'm positive I can do better than this.I eagerly read through the book, finishing in three short evenings. But I blazed through the bog just *knowing* that Crichton would have a dramatic ending, and would reveal a fantastic reason the plane experienced its ordeal. I won't reveal the "shocking" ending here out of politeness to those who have not read it, but I can assure you it is quite tame. Very, very disappointing. I could sum up the entire plot in two or three sentences, and you would gain nothing more by reading the book (unless you are in the aircraft manufacturing business). Read "The Great Train Robbery"; it is Crichton at his best: weaving an intriguing, complex story. "Airframe" is indeed an aviation mishap.

Summary: Not Crichton's best, but still highly enjoyable.
Review: This keeps you turning the pages to see what happens next, but I wouldn't read it if you're planning to fly anywhere soon.

Summary: one of crichton's top three
Review: I read the book in less than a day during a vacation in Antigua. The informational and technical aspects of the story were easy to understand and comprehend, besides being interesting. Every time I fly I always look at slat deployment. A definate reccommendation!

Summary: Michael Crichtons Best Yet
Review: Michael Crichton has gone above and beyond with this book. He adds mystery, suspense, and twists to the story like none other. Airframe is defenetly worth reading! I give it 2 thumbs up.

Summary: At best...mediocre Crichton
Review: I've read just about every Michael Crichton book and this falls into about the middle to bottom range on my favorites list. Plot is just not very interesting and gets to be plain out boring, even on a subject that I find particular interest in. I was disappointed but it is not unbearable.

Summary: Great current events suspense story!
Review: Love all of Michael Crichton's books, mainly because he mixes current interesting scientific/technical information with a great suspense story. I feel like I "learn" something about a specific topic while being thoroughly entertained. Airframe was one of my favorites!

Summary: Awesome
Review: About time Crichton had a major female character. Kept me guessing until the end. The last two pages are the best.

Summary: Aircraft construction and journalists with their own agenda.
Review: A Chinese-flown jumbo jet apparently encounters severe turbulence and lands at Los Angeles International Airport with deaths and injuries. The aircraft firm that built the airplane organizes an investigation team to figure out why the incident happened and why the backups didn't work. However, there appear to be people who do not want answers found. The novel contains many details concerning aircraft construction and aerodynamics as well as issues concerned with government regulation and corporate politics that I found fascinating. And this includes the discussion on safety. But, most of the most biting observations were made about television journalists. I particularly enjoyed the not-so-subtle comment about the Internet: "The irony of the Information Age is that it has given new respectability to uninformed opinion."

Review: this is not my face; i am wearing a mask. it has 3 eye holes but i only have 2 eyes. i think that the 3rd hole is for my nose but i don't beleive in that kind of stuff because it scares me; also i am scared of television shows beginning with "r". my calculator is broken because i took it swimming. joy comes only from nbc(national air and space center) the cat is sitting on denise's neck. i think it just died.
