Read that the author was not happy with the way the movie came out and would not allow any more of his books to turned into movies. I can understand why. I liked the movie and enjoyed the book, but the differences between the two were considerable. If you didn't know beforehand, it would be possible to not realize they were one in the same. Ive read many books that later became movies and, of course there are differences, but not as much as in this case! Still, Great read!5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Sahara by Clive Cussler, a Dirk Pitt AdventureBy SammyJo HuntGreat book, very detailed, vintage Clive Cussler! A great read, and you can't put it down until you're through! Even though its 600 pages, its a fabulous read! In some ways, I really loved this book because of the attention to historical detail. It has a few places that are pretty graphic, but it wouldn't get you as hooked if it didn't make such an impression on the reader. Its a great read, and the tone of the novel reads very realistically, because though it is based upon extremes, what happens in the book COULD actually happen in real life. It was also a great basis for the MOVIE Sahara, starring Matthew McConaughey, Penelope Cruz, and Steve Zahn. In some ways, the movie is fabulous too, though not as graphic in some depictions of events as those in the book. But, the movie does depart slightly from the book in order to create a great action story that can be neatly put into a 2 hour time slot. In many respects, both the book and the movie each have their own advantages. Either one you choose, or both, and you won't be sorry! Great family entertainment! Both are great additions to any home book or movie library!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great Book!By JaimyI love Clive Cussler books.
