Summary: Intense, unusual story
Review: I was used to seeing ultra-high-tech from Michael Crichton. Then I read this book. Given my love of aviation and my zest for thrillers, it was a natural.The story takes twists and turns that aren't even slightly expected. Hypotheses disappear, as does evidence. The end of the story--the truth--catches the reader off guard. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has ever looked up at an aircraft and wondered how it stays up there.

Summary: This book was BORING and a big disappointment!
Review: I've read all of Crichton's fictional books, this was the least interesting by far. His early works are the best. I read the first 150 pages and then skipped the next 200, skimming the final chapters. Forget about this one, unless you work for an airline.

Summary: One more hit for Crichton

Summary: Great Book - Technically as good as it gets
Review: I am a risk assessment engineer and have measured the risk of accidents (aerospace, chemical and nuclear). I know that the true true risks (or lack thereof) of many new technologies never get properly communicated to the public because of media-bias and media's hunger for sensationalism. The media is interested in the gore and attention-grabbing details, while caring little for the disservice done to society as a result of premature retirement of excellent technologies. In this context, Michael Crichton does an excellent job of delving below the surface of a media story taking shape. Excellent read! I wish the public relied less on the popular media for obtaining information on technological risks, and made objective decisions based on their own research. Sadly, this is not going to happen anytime soon. Kudos to Crichton!

Summary: A compelling story about the present problems with the media
Review: I felt that this book had gave us more information about the current state of the media in the US then it did with the aircraft. It is a book that anyone concerned with fairness in journalism should read. It has something for the airplane enthusiast and the media enthusiast in all of us.

Summary: FINALLY!
Review: I don't read very much, but I couldn't put it down! A true suspence thriller, it combines seriousness, humor, and heart-pounding drama into a great book. Highly recommend for people interested with airplanes. Don't be fooled with Crichton's other science fiction books...this one isn't the same. MUST READ!

Summary: Great Ending!!!
Review: I really enjoyed the book. I'm really amazed at the flexablity that Crichton shows in his books. I think women would really enjoy this book because the main charater is a women working in a male dominated field.

Summary: A non-stop thriller!
Review: This book is great!I am only 21 years old but this book is still great! It starts with a bang! Somthing goes wrong on a air plane but no one knows what happened. Then people are trying to cover up for it and trying to kill people. The book keeps getting intense as you read it. I recommend it to any one who knows how to read.

Summary: I simply Didn't Like It
Review: I don't like writing negative reviews, it's a very easy thing to do, but this book was an absolute failure for me. The first ten pages were interesting, then we go through 450 pages of nonsense to come to a rather boring ending. The test thatthis book fails is that you can skip the middle 400 pages and not miss a thing. You might consider doing just that.
