jthierer 's review for:

The Oracle by Robin Burcell, Clive Cussler
3.0

I was definitely disappointed by this one. The synopsis leads you to believe that a lost treasure from the Roman era will play a big part in the book...but in reality the majority of the book takes place in and around a girls' school in Nigeria and the treasure hunt (such as it is) is such an afterthought that its just rushed forward in a few pages. That said, the plot was fun enough (even if the bad guy is really really obvious) and it made for a diverting few hours.
