Summary: Heavy On Suspense
Review: Many people say that Airframe is too informational. I disagree. Congo is defienetly way too informational. It is one of the only books by Michael I didn't like. (The other being Eaters Of The Dead). Anyway I found Airframe suspenseful. When Casey recieves the phone calls at her home and then sees the truck outside. Also when she is being chased through the Hangar and other parts of the company. I felt my stomach drop during these scenes. It isn't perfect but still very enjoyable.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: I've read 7 other Crichton books and loved them, this misses the mark big time. I've always enjoyed the way Crichton teaches the science behind his chosen topic. He's always been able to write it in as an interesting part of the story. This time it was so predictable and dry - every time something technical is explained it's to begrudgingly train the new guy...boring.

Summary: A Good Read
Review: Michael Crichton has proven himself a master at writing about a variety of topics from dinosaurs, mass disease, and airline safety. Airframe keeps the readers interest from beginning to end. The book is concise, well written and a good "starter" for someone just discovering the wonderful writings of Mister Crichton

Summary: Awsome
Review: When I first checked this book out from the library, I only did it because I like Michael Crichton and I didn't think I would enjoy it very much. Boy, was I wrong! This book is so awsome!! I couldn't stop until I had finished! It was suspensful and it kept me guessing about what she was going to do. In the beggining, it suggests that the autopilot did it, but that definitely wasn't what really happened. Contrary to what you may see below in another review. I don't think they really understood the book very much. This book was really descriptive and actually got me nervouse, or scared or something like that which no other book did. Get this book.

Summary: Another Great One
Review: I think that Michael Crichton is getting into more depth, if that is possible. Well, his acknowledgements section is getting bigger too. This one is very different from most of the other books he writes. Usually they are about something killing humans. This book is a mystery that is pretty cool. Detailed and suprize twists at the end. Too cool!

Summary: A major disappointment
Review: I have read every book Crichton has written and I consider him my favorite author, but this book was a massive dissapointment. Totally mundane and unimaginative, I got the impression that he was only writing this book because it was on a subject that people have been interested in lately -- air safety -- and he was hoping to make some money off it. The plot was exceptionally dull. Basically Crichton tells us of a mid-air incident in which a plane suffers extreme turbulance. Right from the very start, one of the character's suggests that this is caused by a problem with the auto-pilot. Then the main character spends the whole novel trying to figure out what happened and in the end she finds out that yes, indeed it was a problem with the autopilot. What was Crichton thinking when he came up with this? And am I the only person that saw incredible similarities between this and Disclosure (both involve a small company designing a great product with hopes of hooking a larger company into merging with them. And a third company who doesn't want the merger to happen tries to derail it by attempting to show that the new product is not any good). I would have given this book zero stars had that been an option.

Summary: An exellent novel by an excellent writer
Review: I think this book was great. Crichton's amazing talent of giving detail and intrigue really shines through in this one. I honestly think that this book is well-worth a consideration to read.

Summary: excellent remarks on tv-function
Review: Though the main issues of this book are corporate politics, air-safety etc, I found the remarks-or should I say footnotes?- on TV-everyday-business really amazing. Crighton's thoughts on how TV works and how viewers receive TV-messages and TV-"information" are really deep and can make a reader think a little on that issue. I have read 2-3 Crighton books and they were rather boring. This one was an exception.

Summary: Exciting, but not very convincing
Review: I am not interested in how in depth this book goes about unions and toher inter large corporation scandlas. The end of this book got confusing and i didn't like it.

Summary: Boring but the suspense is there
Review: Although it is interesting at first, the plot quickly slows to a crawl with dragged parts. It came to a very disappointing ending. A waste of money, but a Crichton fan might like it.
