The Poseidon Adventure (Abridged) Audiobook

" Preposterous, but pulpy enough to be enjoyable. "

" Gallico took that sinking of this ship a little too far for me. I'm still haunted by this young girl who stayed behind simply to steal the jewels off the guests on the Poseidon ... "

" Entertaining book to read as a teenager. "

" A great summer read. As usual, much better than the movie, although the movie (the first one, anyway) was pretty darn good. "

" Interesting book on human spirit. Many of the people just completely gave up and wouldn't even try when the ship sank, but others were going to do whatever it took to at least give themselves a chance. Way too many dead people for me, though. "

" I was surprised at this. A far better book than I expected. I had always loved the movie, but now I see why they made the movie. This book is fantastic. "

" Very different from the original movie but no less entertaining. "

" Pretty much like the movie. I kind of liked this movie better. "

" The first mature novel I read (age 14 or 15 I think). Read the book, then see both movies. The book is much richer and tauter in how the survivors made it out. "

" The first movie with Gene Hackman was way better than the second (too much dead bodies). But the book was worst of all. There's a rape scene that was totally unnecessary, as well as several other sexual references. I wouldn't read it again. "

" This book can be read upside down... a must read to get my joke. "

" not was i was expecting. very old fashioned writing and characters. nothing like the movie, which wasn't that great either. i love catastrophe books, but this wasn't one of my favorites. "
