The Hunt for Atlantis by Andy McDermott
3.0
It...was not that good. I’ve read quite a bit of James Rollins, Matthew Reilly, David Goleman; I love adventure thrillers. I wish I could say I liked this book more than I did. The writing wasn’t great, there were so many exclamation points used with the narrator! It annoyed me and was really cheesy in a bad way. The main character was annoying, she was smart and stupid at the same time. And annoyingly smart but naive and over the top flirty with her body guard, especially in high stress, high danger situations. It just really annoyed me. I did like the plot though! I must say that I’m a sucker for these finding a lost myth storylines. It did follow the usual pattern but it was fun nonetheless, as long as I didn’t focus on the writing and characters too much. I may read the other ones in hopes that his writing matured as he writes more. We’ll see.
