Title: Like an airline meal, you can probably do better yourself
Review: I have enjoyed every Crichton book I've ever read, but this one is a poor example of his capability. As another reviewer mentions, I have been contemplating writing a novel myself; I'm positive I can do better than this.I eagerly read through the book, finishing in three short evenings. But I blazed through the bog just *knowing* that Crichton would have a dramatic ending, and would reveal a fantastic reason the plane experienced its ordeal.I won't reveal the "shocking" ending here out of politeness to those who have not read it, but I can assure you it is quite tame. Very, very disappointing. I could sum up the entire plot in two or three sentences, and you would gain nothing more by reading the book (unless you are in the aircraft manufacturing business).Read "The Great Train Robbery"; it is Crichton at his best: weaving an intriguing, complex story. "Airframe" is indeed an aviation mishap.
