Book Reviews of The Chase
Book Review: A great example of terrible writing
Summary: 1 Stars
I couldn't wait to finish this book so I could tell the rest of the world (or anyone wihtin eyeshot) of Cusslers God-awful writing style as of late. I only had a few weeks in between semesters for some recreational reading and, holy crap, did I ever pick the wrong book! This is the last time I pick up a tome on premise alone. The characters are extremely typical in their description, rugged jaw, piercing eyes, hour glass figure, heaving breats, yadda yadda yadda YAWN! The dialogue was grade-school at best and quite frankly, I didn't give a crap as to whether or not the "Butcher Bandit" got away. As a matter of fact, Issac Bells behavior was so sickeningly over-the-top heroic that I found myself cheering for the bad guy! I couldn't help but envison a different ending. Tell me what you think:
Cromwell puts a bullet right between Bells eyes while doing Marion from behind on a pile of cash with Margaret blowing Roosevelt on the bidet.
Classic.
Sweet Jesus I hated this book so much. People, if you have to read this, set your wince factor to 10 and be prepared to roll your eyes, grimace and set the book down a LOT. That is if you can keep from hurling it across the room. Seriously, it's a hardback and wasn't worth the $5.99 I paid at Borders. I won't donate it to the library or lend it to anyone unless they want an example of inane descriptions, ridiculous celebrity placement (Nils Lofgren? Really??) and the worst dialogue ever! Calling it pedestrian is a slam to pedestrians world-wide.
Seriously, avoid this incredible POS...stick with the guilty-pleasure Dirk Pitt novels of old...or pick up a classic for chrissake. Ugh.
