Clive Cussler

Clive Cussler has a new children's book out...The Adventures of Hotsy Totsy
And here's my favorite line from a reviewer ,
'suffers from all the same problems: stilted prose, gender stereotypes, unrealistic dialogue, deus-ex-magicus solutions to every problem. Both read as if written by someone who closed the cover on their last children's book in 1940. A publishing event that demands an apology to the industry, all children and the trees that gave their lives.'
Kirkus April 2010
I am ordering a few copies anyway just because it's a Clive Cussler book and I figure people will be asking for it.
