Didn’t Like It“I was really looking forward to reading this book after looking at all the reviews and the description of the book. It took me a very long time to get through this book because it just never really picked up pace or caught my attention for very long. The descriptions are very long and unnecessary...” see full review » see other reviews » |
“Entertaining. A fun sort of summer book, that had less to do with the ocean and the giant, man-eating, albino manta ray than I had hoped. It was mostly about gold - an African-slave-ship-gold-rush-sort of treasure hunt. It was obviously a book written by a man, and I think targeted towards more of a male audience as well. Still, overall, the book held a touch of the ridiculous, but remained rather engrossing. I suppose I would keep an eye out for the sequel... But I am not dying to read it.”

Fun adventure story about an ill-considered trip south of the border to find a missing man, conducted not by professional investigators but a bunch of drunken college students. This turns into the vacation from hell, and there's even a monstrous cartilaginous fish in the middle of the story. If it were up to me there would be more giant fish and less vacation from hell, but maybe that's just me.”

It took me a very long time to get through this book because it just never really picked up pace or caught my attention for very long. The descriptions are very long and unnecessary for this genre of book. When I look back on it not much really happened just most of the book is filled up with these long descriptions.”
