A review by sdemler14
Atlantis by David Gibbins
4.0
I really liked this book. At first, I thought that the whole Atlantis story was going to be all about the Minoan culture on Crete, which is what EVERYONE talks about when talking about Atlantis, but thankfully it wasn't! This is actually a COMPLETELY different story and theory of Atlantis than I have ever heard or read, which I have to admit is a big part of why I like the book!!! lol
There is one thing that kind of bugs me about the book...and that is how they kind of magically have all of these resources available to them that a) would never be available to every day archaeologists, b) would COST WAYYYYYYY too much for everyday archaeologists(most do NOT have a "benefactor" like in the book), and C!!) most of the things that they have to make their journey possible are not even possible with today's technology as far as we know. some of it is just a little too sci-fi for me.
But that is the only problem I really have with the book, and yes, I know it is fiction. I just kind of feel like if you are going to make it a somewhat believable story don't put your hero in situations where you have to make up things to save him. Just saying.
But I do still really like the book and definitely recommend it!! There will be a more in-depth review on my blog soon!! http://rendezvouswithabook.blogspot.com/
