Summary: Must Read
Review: Pick it up and you won't put it down until you're finished. If it's not the best of Clive Cussler, (and I've read them all) it's way up there.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: dissapointing
Review: I have found the last two Cussler "Dirk Pitt" novels lacking in their usual excitement and knowledegable entertainment. There seems to be more violence and sexual innuendos than precious books. I feel as if Cussler gave his characters to someone else to write with. Having read every Pitt novel its easy to sense the subtle changes in his tales. The best novels are "Sahara" and "Raise the Titanic".

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Enjoyable reading in typical Dirk Pitt fashion!
Review: Any Pitt fans, this is a must-read, if not just the final chapter. Dirk's character mellows a bit in this novel, doesn't have his usual "edge". Great family reading, I don't mind passing these on to my 60 y.o. Dad and 25 y.o. little brother!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A definite page turner
Review: Clive Cussler has done very well again. Atlantis Found is a great novel planned out perfectly by Clive Cussler. It is one of those books that once you start reading you can not stop until it is done. It is very well written. The book does not bore you with facts; it is all an adventure. It may be a long book but before you know it you are way into the book and almost done. It is a very fast moving book. One second a character is in a lot of trouble and the next second he or she finds a way out or gets in more trouble. The book never stops for a second. It all starts when Mr. Marquez, a miner in Telluride, Colorado stumbles across a chamber which is built in a perfect cube. The chamber has inscriptions not known to the current world. What do the inscriptions mean? As soon as Mr. Marquez stumbles across the chamber he is wanted dead. But who wants him dead? And why? A skull is found in the chamber; one that is identical to the one found in an extremely old ship with a crew of dead people. What is the connection? This book should be read by anybody who is able to read. A wonderfully planned book written by Clive Cussler. No one should miss it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Atlantis Found
Review: I really wanted this to be good. But.........I could not get into Dirk Pitt. He is always at the right place at the right time, I became very annoyed with his one-liners. What started out as what looked like a very good story turned into a very unbelievable tale of idiocy. The ending reminded me of an old A-Team episode where everyone turns to Hannibal with a suprised look, he leans back in his chair with cigar crooked in his mouth and grins. Everyone begins to laugh, the screen freezes and the credits role.

Sorry, this will be my first and last Clive Cussler book.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: almost
Review: What I liked: 1. Cussler, as usual puts together a fast-paced adventure novel (action, some suspense) 2. I wouldn't mind one of my kids finding it(no "f" words, no gratuitous tacky sex scenes) 3. It's a totally unbelievable plot, yes--but picture any James Bond film since Dr. No and compare.

Didn't like: 1. The villian characters were really predictable and acted like they came off of Scooby Doo ("It was a perfect crime and it would have worked if it wasn't for those meddling NUMA guys"!) The same villian characters didn't act like real people--they talked too much and revealed way too much of their evil plotting to Pitt instead of being protective. 2. Pitt and his friend Al should face the consequences of their bad negotiating tactics.

In spite of its faults, it is an enjoyable read that doesn't take all of your attention.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good, clean, fun
Review: I have just finished reading this book--my first Cussler book--and I must say that I enjoyed every minute! I have always been hesitant to read the Dirk Pit series because I figured that they would be filled with profanity and sex, but I am delighted to report that these are clean enough for the most sensitive reader. Thank you Mr. Cussler, plese keep it clean!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great book, but the worst reading I've ever experienced
Review: I love Cussler's books, and was ecstatic to see an unabridged tape. I have to say, however, that this was the first tape (of dozens) I have listened to where the reader was so awful I could hardly stand to listen. Mr. Cussler, PLEASE find someone else. Listen to how this guy massacred your story. Did you have a computer scan it and sound out the words? It sure sounded like it. I have come to enjoy tapes more than books, but not in this case. BE WARNED, this particular tape is not worth the money. Read the book instead.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Dirk & Al have done it again...saved the world!
Review: Reading about Dirk Pitt is like eating popcorn...you just can't stop. Some say that Cussler is not as good as the past but I say he is the same...fun...far out...full of adventure...and nine or ten? lives. This book was a little long but very typical of Cussler books. I still don't know who the leak was in NUMA maybe someone can help with that!
