Airframe

Rating:
Summary: Bravo!Bravo!
Review: Nicely done. Concise. Complex plot to a simple explination. Think before you give your kids the keys to your car next time:). I love how MC leaves out alot of scene descriptions, allows my imagination to paint the canvas! His knowledge on his subject always seems to be complete, this novel is no exception.

Rating:
Summary: EXCELLENT SUSPENSEFUL BOOK!!
Review: I have read all of Michael Chrichton's books and they just keep getting better. Right after I completed this book, a commercial airline experienced the same problems that this "fictional" airline did! It makes one think twice about air travel. I highly recommend that if you enjoy Michael Chrichton's writing style, that you obtain a copy of this book. You will not be able to put it down.

Rating:
Summary: Teaches you a lot, makes you think, but not one of his best.
Review: Airframe teaches you a lot about planes and the way they are built, and makes you wonder if you should get on your next foreign carrier, but it doesn't have as much suspense as some of Crichton's other books.

Rating:
Summary: Somewhat exciting, but overall dull
Review: I am a great fan of Chrichton's work and have thoroughly enjoyed all of his books I have read. I was excited when I found it in paperback and I bought it. The book had some exciting chase scenes and disaster scenes, which are his specialty, but not enough to keep me happy. It was almost purely techinical which I did not enjoy. He wrote the book well and it had some good qualities but it just wasn't near as wholesome as his others.

Rating:
Summary: excellent use of technical terms
Review: Crichten's use of technical 'jargon' made this book. He showed a great sense of knowledge of what he is writing about, as he does in all of his books. Excellent.

Rating:
Summary: Too Boring
Review: I like Michael Crichton's books. I started reading them before he became famous. But this book bored me to death. I am not into much technology and altho I enjoy learning, this was too much. The plot seemed almost a second thought to a technical manual. Please Michael, go back to your old style.

Rating:
Summary: Not very exciting
Review: The story was very informative, but it was boring. Every once in a while Crichton would through in a chase scene just to keep you from droppping the book.

Rating:
Summary: stupid.stupid.stupid.
Review: I checked this book out of the library with high hopes of another masterpeice along the lines of congo and the andromeda strain.........not so.One has to wonder if the cabin pressure was'nt a bit low on the plane when MC thought up the ending to this pathetic offering. avoid at all costs.

Rating:
Summary: Unputdownable.
Review: Michael Crichton has this knack of blending the latest in techno knowledge with breathtaking plots. This one's no different. His best sci-fi after 'Disclosure. A movie should follow soon.

Rating:
Summary: One of his average books.
Review: It was a pretty good book, but nothing much compared to his other books. There isn't much to hold you in and I was really disappointed with the ending.
