    <body><![CDATA[This was a fun book to read. It was very exciting all the way through with fun, interweaving seemingly unrelated plots. The lead character, Dirk Pitt, is highly likeable, resourceful, tough, and of course, charming. I did see the movie first, so it was fun picturing the cocky and suave Michael McCon...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/27708570">more...</a>]]></body>

And when I say that the movie was based on the book, that is not really saying much! This was quite a page-turner, with lots of action...mostly believable.
