The Spy (Abridged) Audiobook

" Another fun case for Bell in the series, with a few extra twists. Set in the early 1900s, the navy is trying to build the best ship, and spies are trying to mess things up. Gangsters get involved too, to make things more complex. I enjoyed this one, and will listen to the others in the series too. "

" Just a guilty pleasure....loved the mention of the little boy who danced named Fred (Astaire). "

" very close to 5 star read, really no weaknesses. "

" This book didn't have the fast pace, action packed storyline I have come to expect from a Cussler book. The plot was fine, but not as riviting as I am used to. However, I'll give Isaac another chance in the 4th book, if not, I'll go back and read Juan's adventures again. "

" Another typical Clive Cussler book. I like the Chase the best of the three Isaac Bell books. "

" A Fathers Day present from my son, he knows I always enjoy these silly books. This one is no exception! "

" Good read. Typical Cussler descriptive narrative; mystery, and enough characters to keep you retracing your steps to keep up. Cheers for the Van Dorns. "

" I really enjoyed the first two books. This one however left the tracks. It just never gelled. We're supposed to suspend our imagination I know, but this just didn't work. "

" Great stuff about naval guns & defenses prior to WWII "

" I read this book first and out of order but it didn't matter because I love this series as much as the Numa and Oregon Files. "

" A good read for the most part. This series of books wavers back and forth between well-written and hastily slapped together. Overall, a good story that I'd recommend. "

" Fun plot and even entertaining at times. The book dragged in spots and I just had to plow through those to get to the more entertaining parts. "

" Another in the Isaac Bell series. This novel was more in depth when compared to the Chase or the Wrecker. I felt it more suspenseful and intriguing. The book introduced several characters which thicken the plot. Making it more enjoyable to read. "

" I don't like all of the joint books done by him but this was good. It didn't try to follow in the Dirk Pitt novels but went its own way. I would probably read more of this line. "

" Really good book that brings the history of the period to live with extraordinary detail. "

" Throughly enjoyed this read, nice and quick. Enjoyed the descriptive writing in all aspects of the story. "

" I would read about Isaac Bell again. "

" I am on a run with mystery books lately, which is rare, and really enjoy Clive Cusslers books. If you want to read a fast paced mystery with great writing skills and characters, give Cussler a try! "

" Another fun read. This time I learned a lot about ships, specifically battleships/dreadnaughts. "

" Did not like this book. Not one of best by any stretch "

" great author!!! "

" Love Clive Cussler's work however now that I am reading more of his newer titles there just seems to be something lacking. Probably not putting his whole attention to the story now that he shares titles with another author on everything he puts out. "

" This was an ok read but I enjoy Dirk Pitt and his friends more. "

" Excellent change of style for Mr Cussler. Isaac Bell's style rivals with The Alienist by Caleb Carr. Most enjoyable read. "

" Typical Cussler. Fast easy read, lots of action with multiple plot twists. Very entertaining "

" Not one of my favorite Cussler books. The time period and subject matter was interesting, though I found myself wishing that the storyline would just wrap up on a number of occasions. "

" Nice pot boiler set in the 1900's. An early techno thriller "

" this was a great book good characters, lots of adventure and an interesting time period.just afterthe san fransico earthquake at the time when the u.s. is finding itself.. this is a book that if you like spies and intrigue this is it i recimend this book. in my opinion this is a good read. "

" very close to 5 star read, really no weaknesses. "

" Issac Bell series looks good ,the char does resemble Pitt in some ways ,just figured out that this is a part of a series .Got to read em all "

" I used to like history-thrillers novels and I was attracted by this title but unfortunately my expectations were way too high than the reality. A little childish, story line apparently complex but too predictable at the end. "

" I enjoyed this story. It has been nice to get away from the Dirk Pitt series and to read about some "historical" action adventure! "

" I am on a run with mystery books lately, which is rare, and really enjoy Clive Cusslers books. If you want to read a fast paced mystery with great writing skills and characters, give Cussler a try! "

" Another great Cussler book. Mystery and Action involving topics, places and things I enjoy. "

" It was JUST ok. I really did not feel that it was a great book. I like lots of Cussler's series, but I do not find this one as satisfying as the others. "

" I loved "The Wrecker" and this was the next one in the series. It didn't keep my interest and it just didn't seem like it was written by the same guys. "

" I am really enjoying this series; it's a nice break from all the sea-faring stuff. "

" Great stuff about naval guns & defenses prior to WWII "

" Scott Brick is a good reader. I enjoy the life he gives characters. "
