Title: "If you dont have anything nice to say..."
Review: Alright, I'll admit that Clive Cussler has been, and always will be, a "popular fiction" writer, i.e. books that dont require thought. But his past books were NEVER this bad! I actually enjoyed his early novels, but Cussler's writing has become nothing but shoddy junk. Atlantis found is shallow and cliche. The only highlight I can find is that it isn't (thank god) tedious. But what bothered me the most was his need to explain things such as Precession, Diffusion (in relation to the populating of North America), and even sky charts (among many other things) for goodness sakes! I understand some people may not have ever heard of, say, the Theory of Diffusion, but they are capable of looking it up! Cussler need not badly attempt to work the definition into the story!! Ugh. Nothing bothered me more than that.
Is the review positive or negative?
