I like Crichton and this was right in his wheelhouse. If you like Crichton, this is a must read. If you just like good stories, this is a solid choice.
The only plane crash forensics thriller that I've read, and it keeps you glued even in midst of all these jargon and technical scenarios. A very well researched fiction.
Probably one of the few books I can say with some certainty were disastrous. The only interesting parts were the end. Everything else was boring and monotonous, like reading a manual for a radio or a television.
