Treasure

Summary: The best of the Pitt's!
Review: I have read all of the Dirk Pitt novels and just can't say enough about "Treasure." This book is simply the best of them all. The characters, the plots, the action. Everything keeps you turning the pages until (sadly) you are finished.

Summary: Classic Cussler
Review: This was the third Cussler novel I have read and I can't believe they keep getting better and better. Treasure is simply unbelievable. Cussler is the master at intertwining sub-plots as well as establishing intriguing and sinister characters. A must-read for anyone who enjoys a great book

Summary: Cussler's best! Do yourself a favor and read it!
Review: Who else but Clive Cussler could weave together a place crash, an ancient shipwreck, an international terrorist who hijacks a cruise ship and the world leaders on board, the attempted overthrow of the Egyptian and Mexican governments and a vast treasure trove hidden for centuries into a pulse-pounding, heart-stopping thriller. Cussler is at the top of his form with this entry in his best-selling Dirk Pitt series and Cussler's hero out does James Bond, Indiana Jones and even Sherlock Holmes in his quest. Pour yourself a tequilla-on-the-rocks with lime, kick back and discover this "Treasure."

Summary: One of my all time fave books!
Review: What a treat! Treasure is one of the best D.P. novels out there! It's quite a page turner, so be prepared to to lose yourself in the world of Clive Cussler!p.s.And as a native south Texan, I really got a kick out of the TX connection!

Summary: Blah, blah, blah....
Review: My father reccommended this book to me...that should have been my first clue. I will give Mr. Cussler credit for the story's premise and the little effort put into research. However, I could not suppress my urge to regurgitate at the absurdity of Dirk Pitt...the infallible, the delectible, the inscrutible...the ridiculous! I think Clive Cussler is better suited to writing comic books for the prepubescent. Gag.

Summary: This Treasure was Hard to Measure
Review: The beginning of the book immediately caught me because it went right into the story without explaining anything, which made me want to read and find out. I think that it one of Cusslers main strong points is making you want to read more and that makes it a good book.
The first pages of the book talk about Romans and a small portion of a background about the city of Alexandria. To understand the rest of the book you must read this, it was very wise for Clive to incorporate that into the beginning of the story.
This book is also interesting because it alternates between the government in one chapter and Dirk Pitt in the other, so you have to read one whole chapter that is almost irrelevant to the other in order to find out what happens in the one chapter.
The main character in this story is of course Dirk Pitt, a handsome, smart, witty, and caring man who is good with the ladies. For instance when Dirk and his team of archaeologists rescue people from a freezing plane, Pitt asks two of them if they would have dinner with him. Of course he didn't ask them in front of each other, but they would both eventually have dinner.
Then there is Lily, she was found on the frozen plane, and now helps Dirk and his colleague with there studies. Dirk eventually falls in love with her, but you will have to read the whole thing.
Then there is Giordino, who is Dirks coworker in the archaeological study on the ship Polar Explorer.
I think you might be able to predict the end of the story, but not up to the level that Cussler has made it, only because it is your average case of good versus evil.
I thought it was a very good book, seeing as how I don't like most other books.
So read the book and see what you think.
(This was definately a treasure that was hard to measure.)
