Book Reviews of Airframe
Book Review: "AIRFRAME": Not Crichton's best
Summary: 3 Stars
The book was a good read, but it just doesn't live up to the reviews printed on the back cover. "...will cause a lifetime of white-knuckled nightmares." HARDLY! Crichton does a good job of pulling you into the story in the beginning of the book. It actually starts off pretty suspenseful. However, as the you get deeper into the book, the more boring it becomes. The most disappointing aspect is how irrelevant much of the book's content is to the actual ending. There also appear to be too many sub-plots, and at times it can be difficult to follow. The ending is also disappointing. You're expecting something exciting, or at least some answers to the many sub-plots, but there is essentially nothing.
However, I will confess that I am a student-pilot, and I still found the book a decent read...if only because I love airplanes!
