Clive Cussler, My Nemesis
Know what really frosts my cookies? When authors put themselves in their books, it’s just … I don’t like it. It annoys me when I’m reading a book and the author shows up and has a whole chit chat with his characters and than moves on. Clive Cussler I am looking at you.
I actually really just don’t like Clive Cussler. And this sucks because I wish I did, it would make things easier in my house since my dad is such a fan and keeps trying to get me to read his damn books.
Stop reading right now if you have any plans on reading anything by Cussler in the future and haven’t been to the bookstore recently and read the backs of his latest novels. I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone. Just because I don’t like the books doesn’t mean that other people won’t.
Right, so I think it’s weird that he created this character “Dirk” and than as Dirk got older and older, had him have kids … the boy who looks just like him and the girl looks just like her mother and is named Summer, the same name as her mom. It’s creepy. And weird. And don’t even get me started on the whole; “well gee, I should create a character named Kirk and have him collected antique guns instead of antique cars! And he’ll work for NUMA too!”
Ugh.
That said I did like the movie Sahara. Oh it was a bad movie, and it looked like a small furry creature had crawled onto Steve Zhan’s head, and Matt McCounaughey looked like he had taken a bath in self tanner, but still. It was cheesy good fun.
