Reviews: The Depths by Nick Thacker

The Depths by Nick Thacker

I’ve always been a sucker for books about underwater habitats. There is something about the isolation deep beneath the ocean with the constant threat of the immense pressure of the sea water cracking the shelter that ramps up the excitement for me just about every time. Unfortunately, The Depths is the exception to the rule. It starts out okay with a kidnapped child and a parent desperately trying to locate him, but the story never quite finished grabbing my attention. There were too many irrational actors and many little details such as a lack of understanding of military protocol that really damaged my suspension of disbelief. Ultimately, the story just couldn’t hold my attention.
