Title: Not what I expected
Review: This is my first Crichton book. As a Private Pilot myself, I have a HUGE fascination in Air Disasters, and thought this would be 'right up my allay'. It wasn't. In all fairness I've only read 1/2 of it but don't intend to finish it because it doesn't seem to be going anywhere?! Starts very well but then slackens off rapidly. I've found that there are too many characters which are not established long enough to be remembered (I had to keep flicking back to remember who they were!?!) The plot doesn't thicken, there is way too much technical jargon (some of it might as well of been written in Latin) and the chapters are too short, so there's a lot of chopping around. My advice... unless you're an aeronautical engineer with a lot of time to spare... skip it!
