by James Rollins
I'm giving it 4 start, but it was my least favorite Rollin's book. So far there wasn't even one I wasn't crazy about, but the heroine in Subterranean - Ashley drove me crazy almost till the end of the book. I'm used to the military giving the orders, making plans and etc. Here she was leading with...
My first foray into James Rollins' writing, and I found it entertaining enough to give him another go in the future. If you are looking for a thrilling adventure, this is not quite it, but it's not badly written or laughable.

While this was overall a good rollicking adventure with a lot of action, it went from being an exciting cave venture to something out of an Edgar Rice Burroughs adventure. I found this a strange mix with many unlikely scenarios. A cadre of explorers/scientists team together to look into interestin...
After reading the Descent by Jeff Long I really had great hopes for this book but... I didn't enjoyed. It sounded good from the synopsis - a hidden world beneath the polar ice caps, and a team put together to go explore when another team goes missing - but the characters were so wooden and annoying...
