From Publishers Weekly

Kurson's chronicle of an extraordinary deep-sea discovery makes for a captivating audio experience. In 1991, divers John Chatterton and Rich Kohler came across the buried remains of a German submarine just off the coast of New Jersey. Unable to identify the ship and mystified as to its origins, the two men became obsessed with learning where the U-boat came from and what brought it to the bottom of the sea. Although the story's set-up, which comprises most of the first disc, drags, the pace picks up when the partners begin traveling the world, digging up clues. Reader Scott uses character voices but keeps them subdued, even when dealing with the salty language of the seamen. This is a wise move, since there's plenty of drama inherent in the text; lengthy and detailed passages describing deep-water dives, and the horrible things that can go wrong with them, evoke mental pictures that are atmospheric and downright claustrophobic at times. A segment featuring interviews with Chatterton and Kohler rounds out this satisfying audio edition.

From AudioFile

This epic account of the discovery, by two recreational scuba divers, of a German U-boat more than 200 feet below the Atlantic's surface, off the New Jersey coast, is more than the recounting of an unusual exploit. Blending history, science, and technology, this intellectual odyssey is dappled with the human element, so vital to the tale of sometimes rivals who band together to find answers to questions no one would have imagined asking. There is an ominous tone to this story of discovery and loss, a looming sense of danger. Listeners cannot help but be riveted by actor-director Campbell Scott's clipped, sonorous, authoritative narration, which fits so perfectly with a chronicle set largely in the ocean's depths.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Shadow Divers, Oct. 4 2006
Par Sima Chowdhury (Calgary, Alberta Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Shadow Divers: The True Adventure of Two Americans Who Risked Everything to Solve One of the Last Mysteries of World War II (Hardcover)
Shadow Divers was great read. Kurson's training as a writer shines through. The story may have been true, but it felt like fiction thriller. The Last Dive wasn't written as brillantly, but definitely more fascinating, because an active wreck diver wrote about himself and his peers versus a journalist gleening secondhand information.
The pictures were great! I love looking at pictures as they reinforce the story. The amount of knowledge and research is impressive and I can't wait to read continuation of saga with Gary Gentile's new book.

(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Shadow Divers: The True Adventure of Two Americans Who Risked Everything to Solve One of the Last Mysteries of World War II (Hardcover)
This was a gripping book. So much so that I couldn't put it down. And when I was finished reading, all I could think of was "why couldn't I have ever found a submarine when I was scuba diving???" And then I'd start thinking to myself that I should drag the tanks out of storage and get diving again. As books go, this one is well rounded. Great characters, a great plot (I mean who doesn't get excited about history coming back to life), and a story that the common man can relate to.

My only gripe with the book - the title. Was it really necessary to include the nationalities of the divers who found the wreck? The divers country of origin really has no bearing on the fact of who found the wreck, nor their personal experiences.

That small gripe aside, I whole heartedly recommend this book. In fact I don't think I've read an underwater tale this good since 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea!

This review is from: Shadow Divers: The True Adventure of Two Americans Who Risked Everything to Solve One of the Last Mysteries of World War II (Hardcover)
Two guys who are divers push themselves to the limit in more ways than one in this physical AND psycological thriller that is both well-written and moving. The sunken boat serves as a metaphor, looming off the Jersey shore for these two men to take on. You'll be pleasantly surprised by this one! Would also recommend THE BARK OF THE DOGWOOD.
