I think it is an interesting concept. Dateline: Atlantis is a book that makes the reader think, along with a interesting cast of characters, ensures that this a fun read. Amaryliss desperately wants to find out how her parents were killed and find the lost city of Atlantis which as a reporter would be the story of a lifetime. But there are people who don't want the story getting out that there is the possibility that Atlantis really does exist. Some people believed that Atlantis was somehow related to Mayan and Aztec culture which would prove that what we were taught to believe about history and the bible may not be true. Whether this is the case or not, I loved this story because I have always loved the unknown...How cool would it be to dive into the sea and see pyramids, roads and other ancient artifacts?? If you like a good mystery, that has a unique storyline, then this is definitely for you... ( ) Hmmm - This is going to be a hard review to write. I loved the idea behind this story and the characters but have to say I wasn't so crazy about the writing in general. I found it very hard to read and struggled all the way through - although the story concept kept me pushing through to find out what is going to happen. The best part of the writing is the huge level of description in the story. It made it easy to visualize the passages as I was reading. Dateline: Atlantis is a book about a News Reporter who along with a camera man finds ruins & pyramids along the Caribbean beach. After having all of her pictures and other notes about the find stolen, the camera man kidnapped and another man murdered the story takes off. The story itself like I said is really good and it reeled me in immediately mostly because I love anything with archeology, pyramids and Egyptians - unfortunately the writing is completely in 1st person and switches from different forms of 1st person if that makes sense. One minute you have Amy Quigley (our main character) being talked about as She and Her and the next minute you are watching her having a vision with a crystal and THAT is also in first person using terms like "she is" and "she was". Perhaps you won't have as much trouble as I did reading this book. I'd suggest checking it out from the library and/or reading a couple chapters at Barnes & Nobel before purchasing to see if it will bother you like it did me... no reviews | add a review
DATELINE: ATLANTIS is a contemporary fantasy featuring a female Indiana Jones who dives underwater and accidentally finds what just might be the lost world of Atlantis. After she and her photographer document fabulous pyramids under the Caribbean sea, they return to their newspaper in the Los Angeles area, only to have all their evidence stolen. The sea rolls back and reclaims the ruins, and their photographer is kidnapped. Someone doesn’t want the undersea world found. The simple news assignment becomes more complicated with each turn and takes the Amaryllis Lang (pen name: Amy Quigley) on a whirlwind investigation to Chicago, Florida, Mexico, and the Bahamas. All along, Amaryllis deals with a cold-case murder, a red-hot editor eager for a Pulitzer, two men who desire her love, deadly traps, and a chance to re-write history.
