"It took me 5 tries to get through this book. A book about sunken treasure should be more interesting than this. Definitely the worst of all of the Perez-Reverte books. Disappointing."
"Not bad - I think I was just in the wrong mood for this one, so it ended up taking my almost 2 weeks to read. Always solid writing from Perez-Reverte (though I admit to a preference for his period work)."
"Another interesting novel by Perez-Reverte. This has a kind of post-modern feel to it, but only in retrospect because on the surface it's much more of a combination of JOseph Conrad and Dashiell Hammett. A bit slower paced than either Club Dumas or The Captain Aristide books, this novel has compelling characters and a well-researched plot and packs a thoughtful punch."
"This was supposed to be one of the mystery/adventure books on my list but I couldn't finish it. It was taking too long to get to the mystery or the adventure."
