Finished reading: Raise the Titanic! (Dirk Pitt, #4) by Clive Cussler 📚 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3/5 Stars
This book was written nine years before the Titanic was rediscovered in real life. Had it been written after the discovery, it likely would have been different, as the story assumes the ship is in better condition and more seaworthy than reality showed. Overall, it’s a decent adventure story.
However, the book contains some misogynistic and patriarchal one-liners that feel particularly out of place today. It reminded me of W.E.B. Griffin’s The Corps series, with men staying in hotels, drinking hard liquor, and making offhand remarks about women.
