Title: Fifth grade reading level
Review: This is the first Clive Cussler book I've read, and looking at the reviews, it seems as though maybe I should give him another chance.I actually liked the plot and ideas behind Atlantis Found, however, I had a hard time getting "lost" in the book, as I love to do, because of the grade school level of writing! Also, I found the Pitt character to be such a cliche of a hero that I was hoping the bad guys would win just so there would be some sort of surprise.Even though I've given it only one star, I would recommend this book in one instance - as an assignment for someone learning English. The plot is interesting enough for an adult, while the English is simple enough for an intermediate learner to follow along. If I was still teaching ESL (English as a Second Language) I would definitely use this book in my class.
Is the review positive or negative?
