The Mediterranean Caper

2004Clive Cussler

4.3/5

Fuck this book with a spiked baseball bat soaked in concentrated lime juice.Our hero Dirk Pitt slaps a crying woman because she's still sad over the death of her husband. He then proceeds to tell this thirty-year-old woman that someone should have bent her over their knee and spanked the grief out of her long ago. And then they have sex. To recap the order of events:Slaps her. Says she deserves to be treated like a child. Fucks her.All this within six minutes of meeting this woman.34 pages in and I'm done with this bullshit. I understand this used to be par for the course, that this was just how men acted, but fuck that nonsense. I'm not reading anymore of this antiquated male fantasy. In summation: I would rather bathe in roadkill and swim in shark infested water than read another page of this book. No matter how hard I try, I cannot get behind a hero who thinks it's okay to lay his hands on a woman in anger, and especially not one who does so in an attempt to stop her from crying over a dead loved one.Final Judgment: Toilet paper.
