Great Book !!!!,

This review is from: The Mediterranean Caper (Mass Market Paperback)
This was the first Clive Cussler book Ive read, and I loved it. I thought it was great! The whole story, the characters, everything !!!The ONLY thing I hated was the part when Dirk Pitt slaps the chick on the beach after only meeting her for like 2 minutes. That was soo stupid. BUT other than that, a great story. I have since read ICEBERG, and I still liked this one better !!!
5.0 out of 5 stars

Heck of a story poorly written,
By
This review is from: The Mediterranean Caper (Mass Market Paperback)
This was my first Cussler novel (I figured I'd start at the begining) and it's a decent enough yarn but atrociously written. The protagonist Dirk Pitt is a James Bondish action caricature, and the dialogue is cliched and corny. People behave and speak in laughably unnatural ways: within an hour of meeting the female lead on an Aegean beach, Pitt slaps her smartly in the face for dwelling excessively on her dead husband. She comes to her senses, and within minutes they're making love on the beach. I'm serious - it's that dumb. I might be inclined to give Cussler another try, I've heard good things about RAISE THE TITANTIC but it had better be good.
