Thumbs up

I liked this book because it had alot of scientific accuracy and attention to detail. What I didn't like was the character's personalities and how they acted. I wasn't too impressed by how they spoke or what they said. For example, Dr. Quest was talking about how a giant squid is an invertabrate and Hadji says "Invertrabrate?". I'm pretty sure that at his age he would have known what an invertabrate was. Some of the other dialogue was a little corny as well. However, I did like the pacing of the story which keeps the reader interested and close attention to scientific detail which is so hard to find in books these days.
