Reader Reviews:
An OK holiday read, but that's about it (1/2 people found this helpful)
This is that first Clive Cussler novel that I've read, and the best way I think I can summarise it would be to say that it's a fast moving story that's thin on detail and doesn't require the reader to engage brain other than to deal with poor grammar. It has a kind of "Boy's Own Adventure" feel and it's therefore perfect for a poolside sun-lounger read.
The characterisation is weak, and I was left with no real affinity for Dirk Pitt, the lead character. In fact, I found him to be an irritating, over Americanised cross between James Bond/Steven Segal/Jack Bauer.
The ending was poor too, but I suppose that Dirk Pitt had to walk away from justice so that Cussler could churn out another few thousand pages about him.
I left my copy behind for the next hotel guest...

i have read clive cussler books before and they are all of the dirk pitt novels. these are my favourite as they are packed with all the elements that are needed to make a good book. deep six is no exception.

This is the first one of his books that I have read, and it would make me go out and buy more. The plot was fast-moving - I couldn't put it down!
