Loved the story. Loved how much researched science he used to tell the story. Fun and exciting the whole way through:)

I don't listen to too many audiobooks, and this one was pretty decent. The reader had a good speaking voice and wasn't monotone. At three discs, the story feels a bit short, but the Crichton mystery and suspense was there.

It's not as Out There or riveting as other Crichton books--it focuses primarily on a corporate mystery needing to be solved. It uses a lot of technical terms, but it's important to remember you're not supposed to know what they're talking about. It wasn't my favourite Crichton, but an easy read and satisfying by the end!

This is a really fun, fast paced mystery thriller about a plane crash. We follow Casey as she truest to figure out why the plans crashed. It’s the perfect summer beach read and it would be a fun movie.

Excellent. Could barely put it down. Finished it in a single day, intrigued all the way through. In my mind, Crichton is the undisputed king of thrillers, and this is a perfect example why.

¡Que maravilla! Crichton nos deleita con un thriller administrativo y burocrático sobre una empresa aeronáutica. Nos enseña sobre procesos, técnicismos y demás temas sobre aeronaves. A mitad de libro ya esperaba que la solución al misterio fuera alguna explicación sobrenatural o que recuriera a ciencia ficción, pero no lo hace; toda la historia se resuelve dentro de lo que se podría considerar realista.

Una lectura muy recomendable.
