Airframe

Rating:
Summary: Good read
Review: I really enjoyed it and loved the end. It kind of reads like the lost world.

Rating:
Summary: Heavy On Suspense.
Review: Airframe is full of suspense. In scenes were Casey is getting chased around the company, and when she recieves the threatening phone calls. It was good writing. Crichton displays a goos stroyline, and unlike Congo doesn't get too informational. I enjoyed reading Airframe.

Rating:
Summary: Excellent, even for Crichton!
Review: Although Michael Crichton is one of my favorite authors, I usually tend to enjoy his science fiction novels far more than his other books. However, Airframe was a very notable exception. I have very little interest in airplanes, and less in corporation politics, but as boring as all that sounds (to me, at least), this is one of the most exciting books I've ever read. There are several plot twists and interesting surprises -- a must read for any fiction fan!

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Read...
Review: Although the book reminded me too much of Disclosure (subtle events occured in both), I though that the book was an excellent read. Although it can be non-adventureous and non-suspensing at times, I found that I came out knowing more about the topic at hand than before I picked up the book. The book is well worth the money that I paid for, and in the past year or so, I have read it three times.

Rating:
Summary: Fast paced reading + interesting info on airplance structure
Review: Who done it story that keeps you guessing. Most enjoyable aspect of the book is the understandable technical info on airplace structures and the depth of work involved in engineering an aircraft.

Rating:
Summary: Not a super-thriller!
Review: When I first heard about this book and what it was based upon I thought I had foun the perfect action and suspenseful book, however this book was very dissapointing. The beggining of the book was very exciting, but as the plot unfolded I became more and more confused as to what was happening. I do not recommend this book to people in search for action-suspense type books, because this book is very boring and confusing.

Rating:
Summary: Not worth it.
Review: I picked up this book and read the back, deciding it looked like a suspensful, gripping story about a strange happening in the air. I still thought this 3 chapters in, but then it slowly faded to a boring novel about a bit of turbulance that killed 3 people. Not a very good plot, a very disapointing climax.

Rating:
Summary: Made for TV book
Review: Except for the insider snapshot of the airline/airplane business, this would be a MAJOR lamer. I can't beleve how a book this bad made it to the bestseller list. This is nothing more than a screenplay for TV. This is what happens when you become a hollywood writer/director: 1. Token Character developement (think 2 hour movie timeframe) 2. Idiotic action scenes with main character which lead to...nothing! (picture a overweight 40 year old woman climbing down a 50 foor scaffolding escaping the clutches of Bad guys) 3. Telegraphed plot twists: "Don't tell me this is going to be a parts story!" 4. Typical hollywood ending (remember the movie, "Wall Street")

I bought this hardcover book at a garage sale for a dollar and it was barely worth it. Any takers???

Summary: I couldn't put it down!!
Review: The action started right at the beginning and he kept me interested all the way through the book. He described the terminology he used and I felt that I understood all the technical terms even though I knew nothing about aeroplanes. It was a brilliant book and I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone!
