L'enigma dei maya

Posted to The Literary Lawyer.ca A Fun Romp Through the Jungle - 3 Stars If you have read any of the other books in this series written by Clive Cussler/Thomas Perry (previously Grant Blackwood) than you are pretty much assured that you know what you will get in this fifth installment. You are i

Full of filler. I don't care what the Fargos ate, ever. Or what type of wine they had with their food or how that wine tasted. I don't need an exhaustive list of what they packed and in what type of luggage, or what the bad guys pack to come after them. Or every hose and connection they check in the Leggi tutto

I am very fond of Sam and Remi Fargo. I love the characters and their interactions. My favourite is Selma Wandrash. What a great character she is, I really want to see more involvement with Selma. MI really loved the line in the Tombs "be a good Selma". While a departure from the iconic Dirk and Fami Leggi tutto

Sigh. Oh how I expected so much more from you, Clive! Cussler is one of the few novelists whose books fill three or four full bookshelves in the bookstore.

Lieta di fare la vostra conoscenza, coniugi Fargo! Con voi non c’è pace, mai un attimo di respiro, niente è realmente scontato, un colpo di scena dietro l’altro, capovolgimenti di fronte... ok, è tutto molto veloce, forse un po’ approssimativo a volte, ma godibilissimo. E poi... Va bene la competenz Leggi tutto

Sam and Remy Fargo are a fabulously wealthy couple who have the kind of adventures most people can only dream of. In this story, they accidentally find an ancient Mayan book, or codex, which has a map of Mayan cities and sacred places in Guatemala that have never been discovered. They alert David Ka Leggi tutto

This book was well written in my opinion. Mr Cussler and Thomas Perry take us on an adventure comparable to that of Indiana Jones. There are so many mysteries, twists and turns along the way. He takes a prior military married couple who seek out adventure after adventure. Sam and Remi find the last

As always, adequate. It's difficult to impossible to rate the Fargo series any higher due to their formulaic nature and cardboard characters, but they serve their purpose. I listen to then in audio format with ever reliable Scott Brick doing the reading and it makes for a decent, undemanding of atte Leggi tutto
