An Indiana Jones flavored adventure in New England

Alle elementen van een typisch avonturenverhaal zijn hier aanwezig: piraten, een schattenzoektocht, een legendarische vloek die iedereen treft die de schat probeert te vinden, vernuftig opgezette vallen en natuurlijk een portie actie...

Geen wonder dat dit boek dus leest als een trein.

Er zijn wel ook wat minpuntjes: soms is het verhaal wat voorspelbaar... soms zelfs in die mate dat je niet kan geloven dat de hoofdpersonages zelf niet doorhebben wat er gebeurt...
Maar de wervelwind van actie sleept je door die momenten heen zodat je niet lang de tijd krijgt om erbij stil te staan.

Zeker geen slecht verhaal dus... zeker drie sterren waard

Let me preface this by saying I enjoy books by Douglas Preston. Riptide is a fun summer read, that will leave you guessing as to what exactly is St. Michael's Sword. Slow at times, but still enjoyed the concept and read. Gave it 3 stars for the parts that I found slow.

Un poco decepcionante, un poco aburridillo, un poco lento... muy poco Preston & Child.
