A review by balthazarlawson
The Solomon Curse by Clive Cussler
2.0
The Fargos travel to the Solomon Islands to help with the exploration of an under water ruin that they are funding. As they try to understand their find by talking to the locals they find that no one is interested in helping them as the place is cursed. But never to be put of by an old curse they continue on their path even though things start to go wrong. The society around them is slowly dissolving with political assassinations and rioting. But they push on regardless.
The Fargos are a pair of idiots as they constantly put themselves and those around them in danger. And their in lies the problem with the book. It becomes unbelievable because rich people like the Fargos should know better. Plus the story is just weirdly structured. The basic idea is a reasonable one but the execution is poorly done. The ending is even stranger. There are so many unexplained things and at the same time the book is pointlessly drawn out and lacked that certain element to draw a person in and keep them hooked. I could have done with out this book but it's something that has been sitting on the shelf to read.
