Skeleton Coast by Clive Cussler



Content rating: 1.2.3 (to the best of my recollection)
Category: Adventure
Audiobook

Review: 3/5

This is not the kind of book I usually read or listen to but since there is not a huge selection of audiobooks on CD's at my library, I have to take what I can get. I ended up quite enjoying this one. I don't think I would have finished it if I had been reading the book but since I was listening and doing housework/driving at the same time, it kept my interest. By the end I was thinking that I'd like to listen to some more of Clive Cussler's books. This book is part of the Oregon Files which chronicle the stories of a technologically advanced ship called The Oregon. In this one, they are dealing with sunken treasure, maniacal environmentalists, and guerillas in Africa. It's a fairly complex plot and though it took me a while, I quite enjoyed it by the end. There are lots of likable characters and the action moves pretty quickly. Like I said, it's not my usual genre but I still enjoyed it. I would say that it's intended more for the testosterone crowd, but plenty of women could enjoy it too.

I've always wanted to try something by him. Not my usual genre either.
