- Education. You get to learn a lot. They're full of cutting-edge science, puzzles, mysteries and journeys through new and different locales.
- Escape. You can let all your cares and woes fly away while you're wrapped up in the exciting adventure and characters.
So, we already know most of what The Atlantis Code has to offer. At least I already knew all this. But I'm jaded--I've read dozens of books in this genre. There was little new here. But was The Atlantis Code a good escape? Sadly, no. It was hard to get lost in (and these books should be easy to get lost in). The plot twists were predictable--or, at best, predictably unpredictable--and most of the characters were one-dimensional. If you are just starting out in your journey in this genre this might be an interesting book. For just about everyone else, though, leave it on the shelf. There are a lot more interesting escapist thriller reads available.
