FLOOD TIDE

Rating:
Summary: A Dose-o-Dirk'ell do ya. Satisfying, but not Cussler's best.
Review: Its been almost a year since I've read "Flood Tide." Although I enjoyed it, it was certainly not Cussler's best. I agree with someone elses comments that it "lacked a sence of adventure" as found in the other Cussler novels, yet it still satisfied my craving for an undersea (underlake) thriller.

Summary: Been There? Done That? Read the book!
Review: I have been a loyal Clive Cussler fan since about 1979, when I read VIXEN 03 (for the FIRST time). After that, I have found myself waiting in line at the bookstore on the release date of his new novels. I usually buy two copies so I can have one and loan the other to all of my friends I have gotten hooked on Dirk and the gang. Some of the reviews I have read indicate that Cussler's stories are not a good as they used to be. This may be true, but let's face it folks, how many more are left? As for me, if Mr. Cussler publishes Dirk Pitt's favorite RECIPES, I will be in line at the bookstore to buy it! Thanks Clive!

Summary: They are all great
Review: I have read every Cussler book about Dirk Pitt, for two reasons. One I love the plots and heroics, two I love the fact that the characters never change. I enjoy being able to read more about Pitt and Al than just one book would provide. To me the worst thing about reading a book is never seeing what happens after the book ends. In these books you can always read the next one.

Summary: a typical can't put it down from Mr. Cussler
Review: the worst thing about reading one of Clive's books is that you have to wait so long for his next one. i really liked the story line in this book and it kept me turning pages long after i should have been doing something else!!!!

Summary: Better than nothing
Review: The latest adventure of Bond, James--oh, I'm sorry! I mean Pitt, Dirk Pitt. James Bond and Dirk Pitt are completely different. One is an Englishman working for the British Secret Service. The other is an American working for the water department. They have nothing in common other than traveling the world, playing with expensive gadgets, falling in (brief) love with fiesty heroines, and saving the day in an action packed climax. I don't know how I could have confused the two. But I digress from a review of the book.
An evil Chinese businessman has a nefarious plot at hand to take over the United States. Dirk Pitt stops him. Lots of water is involved. The end.

Rating:
Summary: Good, but not as good as some of his other ones.
Review: I am only 12, but I have read almost all of Clive Cussler's books, including "Flood Tide." I enjoyed this book, but it didn't seem to have the same sense of adventure as some other Clive Cussler books, like "Sahara" or "Night Probe."
