Negative Positive
Title: A distinctly low-altitude Crichton performance
Review: Cardboard characters, a stilted plot, wooden dialogue...where to begin? When Norton Aircraft VP (of Quality Assurance, no less!) Casey Singleton told another character that the wing spar of a particular plane was "two hundred feet long - almost as long as a football field" I knew I was in for a rough ride. Doesn't anyone edit this kind of dreck?Aside from an amusing take on the media (particularly a TV newsmagazine reporter obviously meant to be Mike Wallace), the book slogs along for 431 pages before coming to a tepid conclusion.I'm a sucker for books on airplanes and the aviation industry in general but I can't recommend this half-hearted effort.
Is the review positive or negative?
