Skeleton Coast (Abridged) Audiobook

" So Far, i like it. De Brul's writing is better than Cussler's but still has Clive's story telling...something gets blown up about every other chapter!! "

" Clive Cussler is a good author but he has a habit of writing books within a book and sometimes it gets so confusing that you get the feeling your reading a whole bunch of short stories and by the time you get to the end your kind of getting it but still feel confused. This is one of the most confusing so far of his books I've read and it almost needs a map at each chapter just to help figure it out. "

" One of my audio books in the car - and it is as good as all of Clive Cusslers others! "

" The usual cheese and ease with Cussler books. Again, fine to read for a trip or some days on the beach. Nothing mind bending, but fun and easy to read. "

" Um...I feel sort of like a jerk doing this. But I have to warn people. I wish someone had warned me. Clive Cussler is CHEESE BALL. His characters, at least the "hero" of his story in this case, are so incredibly beyond believable. They go through days on end of brutal conflicts against man and nature, never sleep a wink, and still come out on top, beating down the bad guy with a whole lot of self-righteous oratory. I get it. You are supposed to suspend your disbelief when you are reading fiction, but this goes beyond the bounds of all reason. And I really don't need Cussler's lecture on moral behavior at the end (don't you just hate it when authors stick their noses into books in an obvious and self-serving manner). I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't just put the book down when I realized how over the top it was. I won't, however, make the mistake of picking up a Cussler novel again. "

" This book was ok. It wasn't a bad read, but the books are starting to sound the same. This was about the Company fighting ecoterrorists, trying to restore a Nelson Mandella (who just turned 90 today!!) type into government, opposed to a corrupt African government, and a lost ship with a ton of raw diamonds aboard. It all interconnected and turned out all fine in the end. But the book didn't have the pizzaz the others did. If I ever come across the next in the series I'll probably read it, but I'm not in a hurry, for now I'm done with this series. "

" I really liked this book and will read some more from Cussler. Not a Dirk Pit novel, but similar in nature (he was mentioned in the book). Full of action, some funny parts, and it kept you guessing. "

" Clive Cussler and Jack Du Brul have done it again! A great book on the Oregon Files with the Corporation. "

" Really enjoyed this book and I loved the cameo appearances by Cusslers other leading men - Dirk Pitt and Kurt Austin. Even though this story was written several years ago it really fit for this year since it deals with an oil spill. "

" The handsome one legged hero, and the lovely amazing heroine, a little to harlequin! "

" The first 75% was good then it got predictable. Still great story but I notice I always enjoy the first half of his books than the 2nd. "

" My first Clive Cussler book and defenetley worth the paper its printed on. With plenty of action, and a fantasticly detailed, action-packed finale, despite sometimes seeming rather far-fetched. "

" A fun and fast moving story. Those who love adventure with some science mixed with history will enjoy this book about lost diamonds, ships in the sand and crazy environmental scientests. "

" I liked it, but the author is definitely a Man's Man. Lots of paragraphs dedicated to the description of the AK-47 guns in the fight scenes. Fun story though. Love the global warming twist lol. "

" Well I've only ever been a fan of the Dirk Pitt books and I hated Kurt Austin so I was pretty sceptical when I was lent this one. I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end!! "

" Love Juan & the gang! On to the next one. "

" First one of this series I have read. A good read. Went through it quickly could not stop turning the pages. "

" I enjoyed this book. Learned alot about Africa as well as warefare. Action packed and very creative and invovled plot. "

" Pretty standard Cussler, pretty much a Micheal Bay movie in book form. Entertaining though, and nice and light. "

" As most of Clive Cusslers books, this is an adventure, an interesting story of the past to begin with, and then ....into the future. Just a book you start and finish in (almost) one sitting. Entertaining.. "

" One of Cussler's better books in along time. Very entertaining and an easy read. "

" Love Juan Cabrillo & the Corporation books (The Oregon Files). This is one the best in the series. Non-stop action. Very enjoyable. "

" We are liking this book better than some of Clive Cussler's books. He goes into a lot of detail so listening to his books is sometimes tedious, but this one seemed more interesting. "

" One of Clive's better yarns, with a great surprise at the end. "

" Just another Clive Cussler Thriller where the good guys sweep in and win the battle against unbelievable odds! Just the way I like my stories! "

" One of the best in the Oregon Files series. Maybe THE best. "

" Clive Cussler Novels = My Guilty Pleasure. :) "

" This was an OK light entertainment read. Plenty of ridiculous stuff in it, but enough of a story to keep it decently good. Not much else to say about it... "
