Can't say its my favorite Pitt.
Which is disappointing. I mean, ot has to do with trying to salvage the Titanic, a wreck I'm mildly obsessed with, and its a Cussler. should have been very readable right?
Um no.
This was the bad part of the 70s. Commentary about "liberated females", nude scenes that were not necessary ( not to be a prude but like what was the point), and just some very crap attitudes from Pitt.
I mean maybe I was looking at him through rose colored glasses when I first starting reading his adventures as a teen. But the other ones....do not paint him like such an asshole.
Maybe, its because the others I've read are post this book......maybe its because Cussler evolved as a writer and so Pitt did as well.
I know, I'm not exactly the target audience.
But I'm just used to admiring Pitt. This....not so much.
do have to admit, one scene right near the end was gnarly as fuck. very Poe. I loved it.
Anyhow, slight disappointment. rather dated. Wish they really could have pulled that old beaut up from the depths.
