Customer Reviews

A worthy and interesting read!

This is a romance novel, but with a political intrigue element that will keep male and female interested indeed. The incredible thing about this novel, is that Taylor Caldwell wrote this when she was 12! The book is an entertaining twist of maybe accidential cold war history back in the time of Atlantis. Weapon system disarment, overtaxation and a decadent and lazy culture are all discussed against a young and cold weathered enemy. Sound familiar. This should be published agAIN, JUST BECAUSE IT IS GOOD.

Miraculous

Experience the mundane and the thrills of what it FEELS like.to be Atalantian. Discover What happened! Brilliant, and as always, applicable to our lives today The miracle is that Ms Caldwell wrote this book when she was only in the eighth grade. No one commands English vocabulary quite like Taylor Caldwell. If you have ever had an inkling of Curiosity about Atlantis this is a Must read!!! You do not want to miss this one!!

Incredible

If you've ever read any of Taylor Caldwell's works, you have likely recognized pure genius. But this book takes the cake. She wrote The Romance of Atlantis at the age of twelve, yet it is amazing in its intuitive sence of a world unimaginable to a child in the early 1910's. Perhaps Caldwell really did live in Atlantis at one time...

An Excellent read whether you believe it or not

This is a fabulous tale documenting the last days of the fabled city of Atlantis...written by Taylor Caldwell when she was 13, allegedly as a re-incarnated memory, it really is an excellent and intelligent read whether you believe Caldwell or not...it is a real pity it is out of stock...I want a copy -- read it many years ago!!! Please bring it back...oh and for those of you who like a good romance -- it's pretty good too, though not a soppy horrible one, but an intriguing story line too!
