Atlantis Found

Summary: atlantis found error
Review: I was amazed to read of the educational institute of one of the characters to be Saint Andrews College, Scotland. As a graduate of St. Andrews University (note St. NOT Saint) I can assure Mr. Cussler that The University consists of several colleges ( St. Marys and St. Salvators, to mention two). This is a distraction in the usually accurate writing and research of this accomplished author. Do your homework a little better next time!

Summary: Dirk Pitt.....
Review: ...is just great again! As a longtime reader of Cussler-books, I rank that one among the best. Dirk and Al and the whole NUMA-gang are tough as always, the bad guys (and ladies) are mean and cruel as always and the settings of the story is good choosen as in the previous books.

Summary: Not as good as it could have been
Review: This is my first Clive Cussler book. However, I have read other similar adventure-type books in the past. Even though this book is action-packed, it does not leave me wanting to read other CC books. Dirk Pitt is nothing compared to Jack Ryan , whom Dirk mentions in the book. He is just another James Bond.

Summary: Dirk & Al Save the World Again!
Review: Atlantis Found is a pretty good adventure tale. The story is compelling and the action rarely stops. There is very little "filler" and it's an absorbing novel, difficult to put down. My only criticism is that the Wolf family is no where near some of Cussler's other villians in real hands-on-rotten-ness. General Kazim from " Sahara" and the evil sister/brother from the diamond empire in "Shock Wave" are still my favorites. It was a little surprising to find Dirk and especially Al settling down at the end. Bravo, and keep up the good writing, Mr. Cussler.

Summary: Atlantis Found
Review: The book might have been alright, but the narrator of the unabridged audio tape left a great deal to be desired. It sounded like he was reading to an audience without a microphone and was trying to be heard by the person sitting in the last row. There was no feeling in his voice. I listen to all of my books by audio tape on my commute. I had to quit listening to this one because it was so awful. A weak story and a very bad narrator. I will make sure that if the narrator Michaiel Prichard I will NOT BUY the audio tape.

Summary: NUMA Forever!
Review: Clive Cussler consistently writes wildly entertaining books. Atlantis Found is one of his best. Like an Indiana Jones movie, you overlook inplausibilities in the story simply because you are having too much fun.

Summary: Thanks Clive!
Review: I've read several of Clive Cussler's books, and they've all been great! This one is no different. Keep em' comin!

Summary: What happened? Is Cussler senile?
Review: I have read all his books and this one is just BAD (as in not good). Cussler will waste a whole paragraph on what the characters are eating or what color Pitt's eyes are (for the thousandth time) but he has no problem skipping over whole sections of the PLOT. I was repeatedly asking myself "is Cussler stupid, or what?" This book was SO unrealistic that I was left wondering why.

Summary: Won't read another
Review: This is the first and last Clive Cussler book I will read. Interesting premise...poorly written. He's a master of the extended metaphor and run on sentence. I prefer better written stories. Try some Crichton instead...this is a typical guy book in the same way there are typical gothic romances.

Summary: Cussler's Best yet
Review: I have read most of Clive Cussler's books and this should be rated among the best. Dirk Pitt and the Numa Agency boys are at their best. The Fourth Reich is one the best villians yet. The action is almost non stop. It was hard to put the book down once I started reading it. If you like fast paced action this book is for you.
