The Navigator (Abridged) Audiobook

" Good, typical Clive Cussler. I wasn't disappointed. "

" 'The Navigator' is "historical" fiction with a James Bond-ish storyline that keeps you guessing, but not in a deep or particularly clever way. Enjoyable enough for light pre-bed reading. I doubt I'll seek out other books in the series. "

" This book was okay. Not as good as his other ones. Read "The Chase" It was really good and different. "

" Just like the Dirk Pitt books. He just change the character's names. There are lots of intertwining story lines so I kind of felt a little lost sometimes but eventually I got with it. I have read quite a few heavier books recently so this was one of those mindless reads. Cussler really does have an imagination and makes me almost think the "history" parts really happened. "

" Just a bit too fantastic for my taste. Too many bits of historic footnotes brought in as major fact. Any book that now mentions the knights of the Crusades automatically drop down a level or two. "

" More outlandish, high flying fun, if you ask me "

" This really is another good Cussler story. It's just that, well, I can't quite get beyond Dirk Pitt. I love that Clive Cussler gave Dirk a life story and I know that meant eventual changes to the NUMA hierarchy. This story is well written. But it's the second Kurt Austin book I've read and I go from page to page looking for mention of Dirk. :) "

" Definitely my least favorite Cussler novel. The character motivation was staged, conversations were linear, driving straight to make a plot point without any realism, and the adventure was equally staged. Blah. "

" Started out pretty slow, but it was good by the end. "

" I would love to say this was classied Clive. Always the main character that mirrors the James Bond personality. I would recommend every book i have read by Clive so far. This was not my favorite from his list of books but still a great read. "

" More about the Phoenicians. Typical Kurt Austin landing himself a female interest in Mechardi; the villain died way too easily after so much hyped building its characters. "

" The usual, which means I liked it! "

" Really mixed reactions to this one. The writing is so-so (at best) ... lots of cliches and flat, stereotypic characters ... but the story is fun ... What I call a "popcorn book" ... Fast reading that's not serious at all ... a fun summer afternoon read. "

" Exciting, gripping, fun. Bad guys were too extreme. Fun read. "

" It was ok as entertainment goes. Nice read, a bit short, not the best from Cussler, but solid work. "

" Not a bad book... having read as much Clive Cussler as I have, it's very formulaic but still is a lot of fun ;) "

" I enjoyed reading The Navigator. I am a fan of Clive Cussler so was not disappointed by the story. He is a natural story teller and I have liked every book I have read by him. They are full of adventure and are always page turners that are hard to put down. "

" An ancient Phoenician statue, a mysterious packet of documents personally encoded by Thomas Jefferson, ancient mariners, modern day heros, are part of this book. Action/adventure, once again the search is on for the artifact. Will the good guys win? Middle East setting, mostly. Kept me entertained. "

" nearly throuthfull story...:-)..and no fiction...except Austins` performance "

" A friend recommended Clive Cussler books for me, so I tried one. It would have been had I been 14 or 15. It was just a level above the Hardy Boys. As a "young adult" book I would have probably given it 4 stars. Maybe I'll give him another try ... some day. "

" Light interesting read. Interesting references to Jefferson and Lewis. I enjoyed it. "

" More NUMA adventures. "

" A Dan Brown type of novel that links secrets from Phoenician times with Jeffersonian America and the modern USA - so well researched and written that it could be true. "

" I always enjoy clive cussler books they are full of adventure and keep you interested "

" This is a reread and it was just as good as the first time. The writing just pulls you right into the story. And what a story it is. "

" Good story. It had been a while since I had read a Kurt Austin adventure and this one was really good and it was fun to be back with the special assignments team. "

" It was a typical Clive Cussler read. Escapist and fun. "

" I was spellbound through the entire book. "

" Great character development in this mix of history and fiction. It is a page turner and kept me on the edge of my seat. I have two more of Cussler's novels in my to read list and will start another one today. "

" My first Clive Cussler book and the start of many more! "

" I like the NUMA series, as well as its cousin, the Dirk Pitt series. Both of them, however, are more Bro-mance than real mystery. And, they certainly have an environmentalist agenda. Each novel speaks to a specific environmental issue. But, they are fun reading, and the characters are well-written. "

" Started out pretty slow, but it was good by the end. "

" Yet another classic from Mr. Cussler. "

" First Cussler book for me. Listened to most of the book, so maybe that is why I couldn't get passed the cheese factor for the first few discs. Ended up being a pretty good book. Not my usual, but I might just read another one. "
