    Top Ten Best Books I've Read

    It happens rarely but when it does, I cannot put it down. Shadow Divers is one of those books. I found it haphazardly years ago. Not really sure what drew me to the book but glad it "caught my eye." It's about underwater treasure seekers that find more than they were looking for. Robert Kurson keeps the story moving and held me till the bitter end. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.

  • An amazing book even if you don't know about diving

    A friend recommended this book, and I was a little skeptical - she told me it was a book about a couple of deep sea divers who discover a WWII German U-Boat off the coast of New Jersey, but I have little interest in WWII and even less in deep sea diving. I have to say, though, that this is just a phenomenally written book. The story is truly amazing and book-worthy, but I feel like this author (Robert Kurson) could write about paint drying and keep me on the edge of my seat. The story is about the discovery of the U-boat, the lives of the men who found it, and their subsequent life-threatening efforts to identify the boat. It's a great primer on deep-sea shipwreck diving, the German U-Bootwaffe from WWII, and is a cautionary tale about the accuracy of history of any kind. I highly ...

  • A favorite

    A friend handed this to me years ago. I then passed it along to another friend with great remarks after reading. I just bought it again simply to pass to another friend. It's that good.

  • Extraordinary True Adventure

    An exceptional true story about a few extraordinary men doing extraordinary things. But a great story is not enough; it needs to be told by a writer who understands and can relate the events in an exciting fashion. Robert Kurson more than meets the challenge, unfolding the story in a personal and exciting way guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat and turning pages rapidly. I heard of this book from friends and wasn't sure about buying it because it was not the type of subject that I normally read, but it turned out to be the best read of the year. The ending is somewhat anticlimactic, but you will not want to put it down until the finish.

  • Great read but greater stroy.

    This is must read for any WWII buff. Great story about disocvering German Subs from WWII that sank of the coast of the US. Who knew that they had gotten so close to us during this time. Must read.
