Diving into Darkness

[koozemani]

I know this book has probably been reviewed to death, but I felt that this was such a compelling book that I had to add my two cents.

In a word, I can only describe this book as haunting. On my second sitting, I found myself flipping page after page, unable to put it down until I reach the end at about 4:30 in the morning. I don't know if this was a result of the author's skill, or if the story was simply so riveting that any telling would capture the readers attention.

I can understand what it means to be that driven and focussed, but I think I'll stick to watching pretty fish.

I just finished it off today. To go as deep as he did in as few dives is amazing. I, too, found it hard to put down.

I ordered the original version (Raising the Dead) when it first came out and read it twice! (in record time, no less) Talk about a page turner!!

I thought I had That book but mine is Diving in Darkness by Martyn Farr. I was wondering why it was so interesting to you since mine is a cave, wreck and under ice manual. May have to pick up the similar named one you describe.

this was a much better read than a manual

I've read it and loved. I really don't read much, but I couldn't put it down.
