A review by shetef
The Chase by Clive Cussler

Did not finish book. Stopped at 19%.

I read this back in high school (as well as the second book in this series) and decided to give it a revisit after seeing the ebook on Libby. There's a lot to like here - Cussler evokes the time period fairly well, with detailed descriptions of period technology and settings, but the characters (especially the protagonist) are just so. flat. and boring. Isaac Bell is an insufferable Gary Stu.
