Title: Diving book that lacks depth
Product review: I bought this book expecting to read thrilling accounts of the search for this WWII submarine. What I found was an non-stop endless focus on the dangers of diving, some fascinating insight in to what drove these men to undertake such a dangerous adventure and page afer mind-numbing page of boring background details on the key players. Unfortunately,that makes for extremely slow reading, with little sizzle to keep the reader focused on the book. That also led to 356 pages (in my paperback version) that desperately need editing to keep the pace flowing. At times I was left wondering if the author was getting paid by the word.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
