Trojan Odyssey Audiobook

" Pretty typical Dirk Pitt action going on here. I find these books really entertaining, but I have to agree with my boyfriend (who's the reason I read this) that Cussler made a mistake having Dirk Pitt age throughout this series. If he had made Dirk more of a James Bond type character, going on endless missions while never aging it would have been way better. Now these books just feel like a bad soap opera, with Dirk Pitts long lost, never-even knew-had-them kids running around solving crimes with him. And it's pretty obvious Cussler must have realised he needed a young Dirk to fit the bill, since his son, also named Dirk, just happens to look and act exactly like his father...how convenient. "

" I can't believe how many of these I've read, I grew up reading these stories "

" This potboiler is the sort of bad writing that comes of too much, or too easy success that leads one to think he or she can just knock out a book over a weekend or two and a bottle of Scotch. Just in the first part, there is a hurricane barreling towards the Caribbean heading "due east." This is repeated several times. Hurricanes do not and cannot barrel due east. Especially from Africa. Hello? Then there is the scene in which intrepid hero Dirk Pitt arrives to rescue a battered floating hotel in the eye of the worst hurricane ever. This hurricane, with winds of supposedly 225 mph, has just torn apart a dozen ships and a Coast Guard hurrican hunter airplane. No matter. Pitt arrives by helicopter, no problem. Is that cool or what? "

" Fun and interesting storyline, but it felt too long. It could have easily been 2 different books the way it was written. Certainly a series I would enjoy getting into more though. "

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

" Clearly a transitional book. "

" Dirk saves the world again. Not without the help of Al, though. "

" This was a very poor book and I can't believe I read the whole thing. The plot was dumb. "

" Entertaining and enjoyable as always! "

" Caleb wants me to read this one "

" An average Dirk Pitt novel. Fun, full of action, and entertaining. "

" Great book, I'm a new Cussler fan, but in full swing. Excellent imagery and word play. "

" I don't mind the far fetched story lines as they are fun and interesting. My only real dislike was some of the repetitiveness of certain parts of the story like Pitt's hangar full of cars. "

" Not his best, glad I took it out of the library instead of buying. But you know what you are in for with Cussler, and you can still enjoy the ride. "

" Increasingly ludicrous. Holiday reading "

" I couldn't finish this one, just way to technical and too much description for me. Maybe another time. I never feel I have to finish a book........too many good books, too little time. : ) "

" suspenseful Dirk Pitt novel "

" love clive "

" This book never lets you breathe for long. Action, suspense, danger, romance - this book has it all, told by a master storyteller. "

" My good friend Ray brought this to my cubicle today after telling me that he had just finished this. Ray is the reason I'm acquainted with this series and I thank him heartily for starting the in-house lending library at work - it's awesome! "

" Read Hardcover, which is apparently no longer available. "

" Clive Cussler is one of my go-to authors. I prefer his solo works rather than his collaborations. This is a brilliant mixing of legend and fact, past and present. I found it riveting and nicely crafted. "

" An interesting twist of the actual events of the Odyssey and the Battle of Troy. Again, Clive Cussler won't let you put his work down. Plan on reading alot in a short amount of time. If you like adventure stories with a twist of historical events, you will enjoy these books. "

" I always enjoy them. The heroes are larger than life and fine examples of humanity, even their flaws are good ones, but Dirk and Al are good value, even if their exploits are a little super human. Recommended for adventure lovers, even if the plot is a little obvious. "

" Not my usual cup of tea but an entertaining read. "

" Cussler presents an interesting premise in the prologue: Was the Trojan War really fought over a woman? Was it really fought in Greece. "

" You must read Valhalla Rising before you read this book. After Atlantis Found, Valhalla Rising and Trojan Odyssey are my next 2 fav Dirk Pitt books. "

" I always like Cussler. The older ones that he wrote himself are the best. "

" Another winner from Cussler. "

" I like Clive Cussler-he's a fun writer and his books have lots of action. However, there are moments when I wonder about him, moments such as this one where he is describing a luxury hotel: "Like a man-made iceberg, the Ocean Wanderer did not have rooms." Huh? "

" God awful. It was like a hilarious study in bland, obvious writing. And the constant use of brand name luxury items that his 'aspirational' character all have makes Bret Easton Ellis stuff seem doubly funny. Cringe-read only. "

" This was fun. It was very fast and action-filled. One thing you have to accept with these books, though, is that somehow, no matter how impossible, unbelieveable, or improbable, Dirk Pitt always escapes and saves the world. (But, I guess that is what makes it fun, too.) "

" I really enjoy the complexity of the Dirk Pitt series, and how Clive can tie all the loose ends together. "

" An average Dirk Pitt novel. Fun, full of action, and entertaining. "

" My good friend Ray brought this to my cubicle today after telling me that he had just finished this. Ray is the reason I'm acquainted with this series and I thank him heartily for starting the in-house lending library at work - it's awesome! "

" An adventure at sea including some cultish behaviour. I'm really not sure about authors who write themselves into their own novels as a cameo character. Overall, not a bad yarn. "

" Pas le meilleur tome des aventures de Dirk Pitt :/ L'histoire a du mal à démarrer et après il y a pas mal de choses qui ne tiennent pas debout. "

" Once again, not my favorite. You can't mess with the recipe for world-wide disaster and have it come out a hit like the others. "

" Fun adventure; it starts with the 'real history of the trojan war" "
