It would have 5 stars because it didn't include very important cases such as Varginha and San Antonio. Also, the Italian crash is missing. A lot of time wasting in some pointless discussions.

Kevin Randle's Crash was an interesting survey of UFO crash reports. The vast majority of the book is presented in "seed catalog" style: you get a date, a location, and a short description.
Some cases are accorded more coverage.
I think many people might find it...less engaging than some other works on the subject. It is presented largely dispassionately, which I found attractive. For readers who come to it with a strong opinion either in favor of an extraordinary origin for UFO reports, or against it, they won't find a book designed to please them.
Many reports are dismissed, or assessed as hoaxes.
On the other hand, there are a very few for which an extraordinary origin is deemed to be likely.
If you are a "true believer", that may upset you. If you are a Skeptic (with a capital "S"...what I call a "true disbeliever"), that may also upset you.
I will say that there are some cases where the original investigator may be treated...well, I'm going to go with "critically". I would say there may be some existing conflicts here, although that could do with approach rather than with personality.
Overall, I found it interesting, and a worthwhile read...but reading a book written from an advocatory position (pro or con) can be more entertaining.
