5.0 out of 5 stars Not my usual cup of tea, Sep 15 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Trojan Odyssey (Hardcover)
I normally try to stick with some bestseller like DA VINCI or McCrae's BARK OF THE DOGWOOD, but occasionally I'll veer off into the land of otherwise. Such was the case with ODYSSEY. Frankly, I wasn't looking forward to it, but after the first few chapers I was hooked. Whadda book! Love it, and I'm sure you will too. Even if you're not one for the subject material, the author magically changes this into something wonderful for the reader. Highly recommended.

Also recommended: Life of Pi and Bark of the Dogwood

4.0 out of 5 stars Dragging but enjoyable, Jun 10 2004
By Beamer (Duke University) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Trojan Odyssey (Hardcover)
If you've never read Cussler, all his books are done via formula. Essentially they're all the same, but you'll never complain about the retread. They're all the same, yet all very entertaining.

This book is Cussler's last (though not the last of the series). It suffers for that reason, as Cussler strives to tie loose ends.

The reigns are being passed from Dirk Sr to Dirk Jr (a convenient appearance, but not wholly unbelievable). At the same time the reigns are being passed from Clive to his son.

The story is entertaining, and likely was likely read by the writers of The Day After Tomorrow. It was novel before the movie, might be tired after, but this came first.

There are some creepy moments between Dirk Jr and his sister, as she's set up to be a sexy character despite spending much of her time alone with her brother in the middle of the ocean - am I the only one that sees this? Couldn't the editor have stepped in on these?

I won't complain much, though. Cussler has given us many, many (many) entertaining reads, and even though he ends on a dip it is a necessary one, and still a solid effort.

If you're a Cussler fan buy it. If you're not yet a Cussler fan buy this, along with some older ones and read those first.

Adventure fans will not go wrong.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid Story, one or two mistakes, May 15 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Trojan Odyssey (Hardcover)
Having read all of Cussler Novels, including the ill-fated cooperation books with other authors, I believe he should stuck to Dirk Pitt.

The Story itself is quite solid, tying together several mystical legends. However Cussler should stay to his characters and their story. Lorens father supposed to be dead, died as he tried to savage gear of a lost airplane (Vixen 03), how can she be walked down the aisle at her marriage with Dirk by him? Believing that Cussler has intentional introduced this mistake, like he did in several others of his novel (mixing up Dirk mother names) it could be guessed that he wants us to comment on his books.

Nevertheless it is page turner! Can't stop till the last page. Friends always know when I am not returning calls or emails, that I am reading (again and again) CC books.

2.0 out of 5 stars Fairly engrossing, but badly written
While well-plotted, Trojan Odyssey is so unevenly written that I found myself distracted every few pages by another clumily constructed sentence. Read more
