Descriptions du produit

From AudioFile

"Predictable" and "formulaic" aptly describe this Arthur Hailey novel, which follows a cast of characters whose loves and lives converge at Lincoln International Airport outside Chicago. Yet through skillful abridgment and Victor Garber's ability to depict characters with various accents, this fast-paced audiobook is quite enjoyable.It would make great listening for a long trip.

5.0�toiles sur 5 Bring Your Boarding Pass, Ao� 14 2001

Par	Gypsychick "gypsychick" (miami, fl USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Airport (Paperback)

Called a potboiler in its time: Sex, sin, stowaways and a mad bomber, all crammed into one long night at a 1970s snowbound airport stands the test of time. Hailey's meticulous attention to detail with regard to every aspect of the story including the inner workings of an international airport under stress in that decade demand the reader's attention. The plot revolves around a beleaguered airport manager juggling a failing marriage and a crisis on location, his arrogant and philandering pilot brother in law, an out of work man teetering over into desperation and how their paths cross on one dangerous night. Absorbing and thrilling, even after all this time.

5.0�toiles sur 5 Airport, Juil 1 2001

Par	Andrew Rolston (Kansas City, mo United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Airport (Paperback)

When a terrifying crisis erupts--stranding a snowbound airport in a blizzard of pressure, passion and peril--the key to life and death rests in the hands of one of four people: a tough troubleshooter, an arrogant pilot, a beautiful stewardess, or a brilliant airport manager. Airport is a great book. Arthur Hailey knows how to get things going! This is one to look up!

4.0�toiles sur 5 7 hours of airport excitement in 500 pages, F�v 2 2001

Par	S. Sriram "smitha_sriram" (Hoboken, NJ) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Airport (Paperback)

When I first started reading this book given by a friend, I thought it would be very boring, But after the first 100 pages, the story picks up and it was very hard to put the book down! A lot of the back end work in airports is normally ignored and this book throws light on such stuff. Every character is unique in her/his own way, but they share one common characteristic - discontentment with life and marriage.

1.0�toiles sur 5 Dull
This was the hardest book I ever read; not because of difficult language or complexity but sheer volume of endless, ultimately pointless text that muffles the plot. Read more

3.0�toiles sur 5 Excellent writing, too much adultery
I saw the tail end of the movie a couple years ago. I'm an aviation nut, so enjoyed what I saw. I thought the book was good until I got to Chapters 3 & 4 and adultery was so... Read more

4.0�toiles sur 5 CAUTION: Don't opperate a plane while reading!
This book is SCARY! Every fear you have about flying becomes a reality. I don't recommend that the weak-hearted read it. Definetely, don't read it on a plane! Read more
