Book Review and Giveaway... The Underwater Pyramid In The Bermuda Triangle


If you recall a few weeks ago,  I reviewed a book by author, Linda Cadose. I thought her book was great so, I was excited when she sent me her next installment, The Underwater Pyramid in the Bermuda Triangle.

The story picked up with the main character of  Dr. Cliff Post, the archaeologist, who along with his adopted son, Matt and marine archaeologist, Kyle Wilson, has just discovered an under water pyramid in the Bermuda triangle just off the coast of Cuba.

The discovery leads to many more finds including mummies in water tight coffins, walls with cryptic hieroglyphs and a treasure trove of other goodies.

The exploration of the pyramid  also lead to a special item that proves Dr. Post's theory of aliens and the lost city of Atlantis. Of course that item gets stolen and cause a couple of twists in the story including someone getting shot! Whoa!

As Linda Cadose did with the last book, she packs this one with a ton of information including a couple of recipes. Yes, recipes!

The reader learns about the Bermuda Triangle, pirates, scuba diving, and so much more. If that is not enough, the book is written based on a real archaeological find. How cool is that?
----------

This book is once again targeted to the 9 year old and up particularly for boys. However, upon reading this book, I would push it closer to high school age. Linda Cadose did try to incorporate girls more in to this story with the addition of a sister for the character, Matt.

Among the pages of The Underwater Pyramid In The Bermuda Triangle is an underlying story that could be construed as very adult topics: the dynamics of marriage where deception takes place, divorce and effects on children, and finally political slants.

I really find Linda Cadose to be an excellent writer and I think her story is fantastic by itself. However, as I mentioned in my last review of her previous book, I think that story does get lost in all of the information.
Since she has a love for history and archeology, I would like to see maybe a book just about that.

I have recently found out she is in the writing process of another book and I look forward to reading this new one when it comes out.

Guess what?  Linda Cadose is generously once again offering this book to one of my fantastic readers. Enter in the rafflecopter below.

The Hidden Chamber In The Great Sphinx Book Review and Giveaway



As a lover of all things history, one of my favorite genres to read is historical fiction books. So, it was pure excitement when I got the opportunity to review the book The Hidden Chamber In The Great Sphinx by Linda Cadose.

This book peaked my interest right away as I truly find anything Egyptian dealing with pyramids, pharaohs and especially the Sphinx quite fascinating. Linda Cadose has all of that in the pages of this book along with factual information for the reader.

The book follows archaeologist Dr. Cliff Post and his friend, Dr. Abdul Saad who discover a hidden chamber in the Great Sphinx. The right paw is opened to find much more than originally could be imagined and leads them to an even greater discovery. Many organizations get involved including the United Nations and The Museum of Antiquities of Egypt. Each organization has its own part in the discovery and gives  its own account to what exactly was discovered in factual detail.

The plot is written in such a way that the reader learns information about not only the Great Sphinx but also about Egypt, its mysteries, and the study of archaeology. Twisted among the pages is an endearing love story between Dr. Post and his next door neighbor. Also, there lies deception and intrigue.
----------------------

Linda Cadose writes a good tale but I do think the factual information over ran her story line. I was also surprised that some references in the book would be over the heads of young readers as they would have no frame of reference. Overall though, this book is obviously directed to the child who would love to read about Egypt and the historical nature of it and I am positive they would love it!

This book is recommended for the 9-15 year old reader. I personally would recommend it for the young pre-teen to young teen because some words in the book would be a bit difficult for the younger child.
