purchased for release - may read first, then release.

I read this book a couple of months ago ... I don't remember exactly when. For the most part I enjoyed it, it was exactly the 'brain-dead' type of read that I needed with a newborn baby. There were parts that were stretched to be unbelievable, and that's unfortunate; plus the plot was quite predictable. But overall it did what I wanted it to do ... helped me to pass some time reading while the baby was asleep :-)
I will release sometime in upcoming weeks as we get prepared to move.

Being offered as a bookray. PM me if you're interested!!

This was mailed today, Express Post, so should arrive next week!! Happy reading!

It came in the mail today, thanks.

It was a good book to read between study sessions -- it doesn't require much attention and it moves quickly so you don't fall asleep, which is a very good thing.

I'll get this in the mail for Ibis3 in the next couple of days.

Received in the mail today. Have a few books ahead of it, but I'll get to it soon. Thanks for the postcard!

This one was pretty good. I got through it pretty quickly. I liked all the stuff about how airplanes are constructed and what the manufacturing industry is like and how accidents are investigated (of course the use of the "newbie to which everything has to be explained" plot device was rather obvious -- but better than for example the tv show Criminal Minds, where the experts are all explaining to each other things which would be very obvious to experts). There wasn't much of a mystery & the 'chase' scene seemed a bit hokey to me--but then I wasn't expecting great literature. For a pulp thriller it was enjoyable.

I've PMd gadl for his address.

Posted today.

Landed succesfully in my mailbox today. Thanks Ibis!
I'm glad that I'm currently in last position on this ray, because I've just started another rather large book that should occupy me for more than a week before I can turn my attention to Airframe.

I finished this book two days ago. It was a great read!
Although I've seen many movies based on Crichton's scenarios, I think this is only the second book I read and I'm willing to read more. I like well-documented thrillers full of technical details, so that's my kind of book.

Commentaires de Gérard :
Dans un anglais et un style faciles, ce roman à suspense oppose deux mondes : celui des avionneurs et celui de la télévision. Manifestement, Crichton est opposé au second où l’audience est le seul critère de la qualité des émissions et où l’objectivité est largement absente. Entre autres choses, il pose donc la question de la responsabilité des médias et de la liberté de parole… Malheureusement, ses personnages sont excessivement stéréotypés et par là même peu crédibles.
Bien qu’il m’ait paru un peu long, ce roman est bien documenté sur les questions de construction aéronautique, et la façon de chercher les causes de l’accident en décortiquant l’avion, comme les conflits de pouvoir dans l'entreprise m’ont intéressé.


Libéré, le 8 mai à l'ABC du Chatelet

Récupéré à la rencontre avec erkwekwe. Merci gadl.
