Members Reviews:

Old school but hi tech adventure

If you could sum up The Jungle in three words, what would they be?

Adventure, fun, glory.

What other book might you compare The Jungle to and why?

Good one. It's the typical Cussler. A basic succes formula. But other writers in the same genre use simular formula's. So the difficulty is the amount of books to chose from.

What about Jason Culps performance did you like?

Pleasant voice to listen to, no excessive enthousiasme nor monotome droning , enough variation between the characters, in short, fine by me.

If you could rename The Jungle, what would you call it?

Back to the Saltmines. Or Ruby Intelligence.

Any additional comments?

Even if I have most, if not all Cussler books in my paper and/or digital library, I think i'll add them , as far as possible, to my Audible Library.

Great story.

What made the experience of listening to The Jungle the most enjoyable?

Fast paced action adventure.

Any additional comments?

Great story, excellent narrator. A tale of high adventure and loads of action.

Cussler at his best

What made the experience of listening to The Jungle the most enjoyable?

Great story, good performance and easy listening while on the M2 carpark each day

Have you listened to any of Jason Culps other performances before? How does this one compare?

No

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When the computer rang the Chairman at the end

It's an action novel, and very American

It's an action-novel. As though the author have seen Die Hard too many times. If you like that, then that's fine.

It actually tries to be a crime-thriller though, sucking you in by hiding information and make you wondering what's going on - just like Dan Brown is so good at. And Clive Cussler does this well in the first one-third of the novel. After that it becomes a bit predictable, full of cliches etc.

Be aware, its a very American novel. And very post-9/11. I'm European and study International Relations, and there are some things in this book that are just waaaay off.

But still, it's enjoyable. Good narration. It's easy, like watching a block buster. But not something to remember.

Couldn't get pass 3 minutes...

What disappointed you about The Jungle?

I have listened to all the Clive Cussler Oregan files books and really enjoyed them. For this book they changed narrator; this has happened before on a series and is not normally a problem. However this narrator takes an audible sharp in take of breath before he speaks, so every new sentence has there is a very annoying and very audible in take of breath. I love the stories of the Oregan Files, but after 3 minutes I could only hear the sharp in take of breath and knew I could not listen to it for over 6 hours.
