Title: Airframe crashes and burns
Review: One thing consistent about Crichton books is that they are difficult to put down...and I found that to be true of Airframe, although I disliked it. The characters are flat and I found myself struggling to root for the protagonist. Crichton obviously has an axe to grind against the media, to the extent that it damages the novel. The depiction was so one-sided, my book actually leaned over when I put it down.That said, I have to admit that I read the book in one day. The story picks up considerably in the last few chapters. The author did a good job of keeping the mystery alive until the end. The background on airplane manufacturing was informative, although also somewhat dry.Reading Airframe reminded me of eating a big bag of potato chips -- you open the bag and find that you can't eat just one, the next thing you know the bag is finished and you feel somewhat ill, full but not satisfied
