Title: Dragged on and on
Review: I am a huge fan of Cussler. I thought I was buying a Cussler book. I was wrong. The writing style is entirely different and incredibly boring. As one reader mentioned, almost every chapter ends with sentences like: "His plan was to make the delivery, then locate a doctor. He had no way of knowing the next doctor he'd see would be a coroner," or "The meeting broke up...he would grab a few hours sleep. He had no way of knowing that this sleep would be his last until the big one." Ugh... they were so irritating that I found myself getting actually angry at this book. Halfway through it I put it down to go read the new paperbacks by Lincoln Child and Matthew Reilly, and then I came back to finish it. I have NEVER put down a Cussler before. I'm fine with the break from tradition (Dirk Pitt, ships, fun cars), but not from Clive's traditional break-neck action, drama and detail. I'm dreading reading any more Oregon Files.
