Rating: Summary: Airframe is a great book Review: I thought the Airframe was a great book. It has taught me many things about airplanes. The book is griping and gets you wandering what would happen next. I realy liked the setting of the book because i like technical things of the book. Michael Crichton has a great storytelling ability that keeps the reader reading the book. His technical details are very accurate. I recommend this book to the poeple that like a thriler with lot of technological stuff.
Rating: Summary: dragging and to much of technical jargon Review: this book is one of his worst books and i would not recommend i
Rating: Summary: A 1,000 piece puzzle that comes together on the page Review: This book goes into detail on the business behind making and flying passenger jets and a sensationalized news program. Told from the point of view of the PR woman of the aircraft manufacturer and a journalist who thinks she has hit on a big story, the book explains much about airlines, big business, and the laws of the press. For a book about airplane tragedies, it made me feel more confident to step on board. Chrichton's style of writing makes everything so believable that you don't doubt that it is all true. If there was ever a book to get in hardcover, this is it!
Rating: Summary: If you want to fly right into a book then read Airframe. Review: I really liked this book because it was interesting and fun to read. It was interesting how they peiced together each clue that they were left with. I learned from this book on how they peiced together each clue and came to the conclusion. It was easy to read the book even though there were many terms that the flight people use because Michael Crichton weaved the definition of each word in the text. I didn't have that many dislikes because it was fun and pretty easy to read, although the parts when they get into the news reporting text was pretty boring. I recommend this book to any one because it is fun to read and anyone who likes puzzles or mysterys will enjoy this book.
Rating: Summary: Crichton cant be beat!!!! Review: Airframe is masterpiece. So much factual information and intriging plot makes this book a must read.
Rating: Summary: Crichton hits the nail on the head with another great novel! Review: Micheal Crichton is already one of my favorite authors but this book pushes him over the top! This story has a great story line and lets you into the world of aeronautics without any complication! This story also has some more flavor than others by putting a female in the lead role also with a position of power. This is one boook I recommend to any avid reader!
Rating: Summary: Crichton at his worst....(sigh!) Review: I usually like what Crichton writes, but this book is awful.The Plot: Thin, and uninteresting, mixed with the old Corporate In-Fighting theme, repeated from Disclosure. The Writing: Crichton as usual. Sharp, undecorated text, not much value as true literature. Crichton doesn't usually write well. It's usually the plot that is interesting. The Characters: Cliche, all over again. A single mother with a child! Stressful and agitated corporate stereotypes. Boy, Hollywood is going to have a wild time making an awful film based on this novel. It'll be one of those fast-paced junk films with tolerable actors. My advice: Even if you love Crichton, this one is simply too boring. So sorry, Mike.
Rating: Summary: No Caffeine needed for this book! Review: Do not under estimate this book. Crichton's thrill seeking, plot twisting, mystery finding, page turning book is one of his best. Just when you think you know it all, you don't.
Rating: Summary: Page turning Suspense!!! Review: Michael brings it all home in this master piece, a genuine thriller that has you riveted to the edge of your seat until the end. If you liked his other books, you'll love Airframe. A must read, I couldn't put it down!
Rating: Summary: The Mystery of a Plane Accident High Off The Ground Review: This is a great detailed, fictional novel that gives you a behind the scene look into the Airplane Contractor Business and the problems that are dealt with when the plane is on flight. The graphic and articulate details makes it easier for the reader to understand. The way the entire mystery climbs up to the climax makes the novel more and more interesting. Casey Singleton plays a major factor in the novel as a Qualitive Assurance rep in the Incident Review Team. As she tries tremondously hard to solve the case, someone that is involved in the scenerio tries to keep information from her in solving what happened during TransPacific 545 was in flight.
