Cussler......Not at his best |
| I have read and loved all of the Dirk Pitt series, Blue Gold reads like it was written for a kid in junior high school. The humor is trite, the white knuckle parts contrived and not surprising. Clive...you have and can do better!! I will finish the book, but with 100 pages to go, I think I know the ending. |

Exciting Listening |
| Listened to this book on a trip to deliver my daugher to college. Cussler is one of my daughter's favorite authors. This is the first book of his that I have ever listened to/read. I really enjoyed it. We enjoyed David Purdham's narration. It was a great way to make the miles fly by. Good fun. I will listen/read more of Cussler's books now. This is also a good choice for teen readers who skip all the good YA books and go staight to "grown up" books. |

Not his best, but still entertaining |
I always gobble up Clive Cussler's books because they so full of adventure, action and humor, and they take place in locations all over the world, above and below water.
Blue Gold was far less adventurous and nail-biting than Cussler's other books I've read so far (my favorite being Inca), but it was still plenty entertaining, and filled all my quiet spots during summer vacation. I found many of the scenes fascinating and intriguing, such as the discovery of an American woman who had become a tribal "goddess" among a primitive South American tribe, and how she created contraptions and improvements in her village due to her own technical expertise. There was an exciting boat race, underwater laboratories, and I dare not give away any more. Yes, it is all highly unlikely, and in fact reminded me of Indiana Jones-style adventure, but I didn't care. It was fun! |
