具體描述
Arthur Hailey’s blockbuster #1 New York Times bestseller, which was made into a hit film, takes readers behind the scenes of an airport and into the cockpit of a passenger jet during a time of crisis
As a raging blizzard wreaks havoc at Lincoln International Airport outside Chicago, airport and airline personnel try to cope with this unstoppable force of nature that is endangering thousands of lives. And in the air, a lone plane struggles to reach its destination. Over the course of seven pulse-pounding hours, a tense human drama plays out as a brilliant airport manager, an arrogant pilot, a tough maintenance man, and a beautiful stewardess strive to avert disaster.
Featuring a diverse cast of vibrant characters, Airport is both a realistic depiction of the airline industry and a novel of nail-biting suspense.

讀後感
用戶評價
從去年國慶檔看瞭中國機長後翻影評找到瞭這部小說，斷斷續續半年時間，中間看瞭兩部中文書，纔又轉迴這本看完。多頭敘事，一看就停不下來，但一放下也就容易懶得拿起。五六百頁的小說，故事時間跨度竟然隻是幾個小時。人物性格心理行為刻畫入木三分。最後的爆炸及降落堪比好萊塢大片。終於結束瞭，又有些捨不得。期待一段長途航空旅程，換個角度再看看飛機的運作和黑暗中機場跑道及屋頂閃爍的指示燈光。
评分So hard to read through an English book like this. I couldn't fully understand the story but a piece by piece broken stories. By guessing the unknown words and half-understanding the rest words, Ive understood 30 percent of what the author was trying to deliever.
评分好看。

评分Airport, a place where people say goodbye to beloved ones or his or her own past. A noisy place haunted by lonely hearts.
