Clive Cussler

3.62 AVERAGE


Ventesima avventura di Dirk Pitt. Fino ad oggi le ho lette tutte. E questa l'ho trovata abbastanza deludente. Sarà che ormai Pitt ha una certa età (64 anni), sarà che molte idee sanno di già visto, sarà che i figli gemelli di Pitt stavolta sono serviti solo per allungare il brodo alla storia, sarà che tutta la trama era debole, da fan di Cussler non ne sono uscito soddisfatto. Spiace tanto, e il fatto che da qualche tomo si avvalga dell'aiuto del figlio nella stesura dei suoi romanzi mi fa insospettire che sia sempre meno farina del suo sacco.

I enjoyed this book. Although not great literature, it was interesting, suspenseful, and hard to put down. Most of Cussler's books are fairly simple, but suspenseful, and so are an easy read. I thought this was the best I've read so far of his books - a bit more complex and suspenseful than the others. My ratings are not absolute, but usually relative to the genre I feel it fits into, so keep that in mind.

I read a lot of books like this, while exercising or just relaxing. I can sit on my stationary bike for an hour or more while reading - sometimes even while exercising. :-)

The book had a little tie-in with another book I read a while back, "The Terror", by Dan Simmons, who is an author I like a lot.

If you like the sort of book that's easy to read, where to good guys seem to always win, then you may enjoy this or other Cussler books.

A good read, a typical Cussler book, a roller coaster from start to finish.

This is an excellent one to read via audiobook. :-D
