Read this when I was in high school, and was one of the few times I've been up nearly all night reading, saying to myself every hour, "I need to go to sleep," but then couldn't put it down. The movie adaptation was atrocious, so don't judge this story based on the film (I always pictured Ted Knight in the role of Ted, not Liev Schreiber [though Mr Schreiber is a talented actor:]). The story has a very tense, claustrophobic feel, and rightly so, as the characters are trapped at the bottom of the ocean.
One of my all-time favorite quotes about learning vs. experience: "Do you want to understand how to ride a bicycle, or do you want to get on and start riding?"
A very fun read.
