Not Up To Cussler's Standards

I bought "The Thief" mostly because of Clyde Cussler's name. I've read almost all of his books, as well as many of those with his "co-authors". Until this one, I've enjoyed them all. But "The Thief" takes typical Cussler descriptive detail, complicated cast of characters, and action even more 'over the top' than can be enjoyed, even by Cussler fans. I'd suggest taking a pass on this one.

This book is childish, inconsequential and bordering to silly and to the absurd. The main character pretends to be a James Bond of the early 1900s and fails clumsily. The whole story is unrealistic, improbable and naive. As the main character, Isaac Bell, he is depicted as part of a private investigative company that is more powerful than the police and any agency of the US government.
The plot is developed with many improvisation episodes that do not follow a smooth path or/and jumps into many directions. I finished reading the story eagerly so I could write this critique to warn future readers to avoid wasting money to buy the book and avoid wasting the time to read it. The first author, Cussler, has lost his touch, or rather, he did not write the story nor read the text if it was written by the second author. What a calamity...!!
sincerely,

Not a page turner. Weak story, lacks imagination. Once I started reading it, I could not wait to put it down.

Like many Clive Cussler books,it was a tad formulaic, but it was a fun read. I miss the traditional Clive Cussler books. probably the first 10 where the best.

Starts slow, but by the middle of the book I was hooked. Issac Bell is starting to grow on me.
