Negative Positive
Title: A poor read with a failed attempt to jazz up a bad plot.
Review: This book's a shocker. It has such a thin plot and the characters are transparent and boring. Even the potential exitement of the news story fails to thrill. It is low on action with the exception of the initial air mishap, which is riveting, but then the novel drifts in to cliches and predictability. It is hard to believe that an author who wrote the superb "Andromeda Strain" can write such a childish novel as "Airframe". It has more value as an introductory aircraft technical manual than as a thriller.
