Summary: Atlantis Found
Review: Mr. Clive Cussler does it once again! In Atlantis Found he continues his literary success in developing a very strong plot with many very interesting sub plots. The reader experinces the techno / political excitement of a great story written by a great story writer. With Dirk Pit, the main character, running the show, Clive Cussler make the reader feels that he or she is another partner just like Al Giordino to Dirk. In this book Clive does an excellent job of joining present day with the mythical past - Atlantis or Amenes, as it is called in the book, while taking the reader on a fantastic ride. This is a must adventure book to read. I can't wait for his next one. When will Hollywood take notice of this writer and screenplay this latest work and produce a movie. This book has all the makings of a very good, exciting movie. Maybe Steven Spielberg should do it! Read this book, you will enjoy it very much. Have a great day y'all!

Summary: Cussler's Best Yet
Review: I own every one of Clive Cussler's books. I enjoy reading them again and again. I picked up Atlantis Found on a Friday evening. I could not put it down! I finished it Saturday afternoon. Cussler develops his characters to their fullest. He weaves the storyline so that you never know what will happen next. I did not think that Cussler could get any better--I was wrong. The paths he allows the personal lives of Dirk and Al to take are ones that TRUE Dirk Pitt adventure fans have been waiting for. Cussler's storylines have always been such that the reader wonders "Could this have really happened this way?" With Atlantis Found, Cussler has surpassed his prior books with believability. I am still wondering if what he described is possible. Atlantis Found is truly Clive Cussler at his best. I can't wait for the next book.

Summary: This is a review of the abridged cassette edition
Review: I notice that all the reviews on this page are for the hardcover book edition; so I must emphasize that I am reviewing the abridged cassette edtion.This author is new to me, therefore his hero is also. Frankly as I heard the cassette, as well-read as it was, my interest began to wane into the second of the four tapes; and I began to wonder why this should be. None of the characters are particularly interesting or even believable. Now for a work of action-adventure fiction, credibility can go by the board. Does anyone really believe that James Bond can do all the things Flemming has him do? But Bond is interesting, he is funny, he is semi-mythical in a way that this hero simply is not. Secondly the plot seems put together of shreds and patches from other works. Being trapped by water in a supposedly sealed room and being rescued at the last instant is strictly Indiana Jones, while the Fourth Empire is nothing but the evil organization that first showed up in "Thunderball," and the ancient runes in the ruins find their origin in "She." And so on. The story told on this tape is well-wrought--the author knows what he is about as a craftsman--but it offers nothing at all new to the genre; and what is old is not all that well done. Perhaps reading the book would produce a totally different estimation. But nothing I heard makes me feel the urge to do so.

Summary: Amazing
Review: Cussler just can't be reviewed like most writers. He's a storyteller who has created some outrageous characters, a hero who shrugs off pain, friends that are undyingly loyal, and villains of pure evil. This adventure is typically outlandish and incredible. It is also fantastic fun! Cussler and Dirk and Al and the Admiral are old friends and I'm always thrilled by the ride they take me on. No pretense, no sophisticated act, just an amazingly good time. It's easy to make fun of these stories and criticize the writing, but I can't help myself - I love it!

Summary: A great book but Cussler is losing his magic
Review: I'm sorry to say but I am disappointed in Atlantis Found. Cussler is known for his brilliant plot twists and his ability to weave unrelated ideas into a suspenseful journey through a modern day treasure hunt. Inca Gold for example is one of Cussler's finest works of literature. He combines the death of two unrelated heroes and the idea that the Earth will be destroyed by a deadly microbe. The final outcome is both suspenseful and energetic. You would expect his strengths to only get stronger, but Cussler seems to have lost some of his creative genius. Atlantis found has virtually no plot twists or in-depth characters. We see none of see none of Pitt's legendary ability to pick up any woman he wants. Each character is only summarily described with no emphasis placed on their strengths or ability's. I recommend you read this book, but a library is a much better place to get it. This is one of the few Cussler books that when you put it down at the end, you may never want to pick up again.

Summary: Atlantis Found
Review: I had eagerly been waiting for this book for quite some time, but after I read it, I was really disappointed. I've read all of Clive Cussler's books, and this is the worst one I've read so far. There wasn't any of the magic or fun that I've come to expect in the books, nor the passion. It's almost like Cussler couldn't quite make up his mind in what direction he wanted to go, and in the end, he went in too many different directions.
