A review by jesssika
Iceberg by Clive Cussler
3.0
Frozen inside a million-ton mass of ice -- the charred remains of a long-missing luxury yacht, vanished en route to a secret White House rendezvous. The only clues to the ship's priceless -- and missing -- cargo: ornately carved rings and the horribly burned bodies of its crew.
Although an easy read, it was predictable. The plot followed a basic layout that the others have followed. It makes the climax virtually nonexistent. It also lacked Al, one of my favorite characters. He's Pitt's Watson,and without him Pitt was not as bright. I find the female characters to be nothing more than mindless toys for Pitt. His regard of them is so low that I'm certain he's scum. Aside from his mysterious deduction skills and womanizing, he's a solid character with room to grow. I hope that Cussler has made him grown with the rest of series.
