Lana Petrova _ana_etrova — Despite the folksy, hamfisted, and frankly amateurish writing, The Last Dive is at its heart a breathtaking adventure story about a truly different kind of thrill-seeking. Don't confuse this with a deep-sea diving book. Both Bernie and the Rouses, the focal characters, are mainly cave and wreck divers as portrayed here, and those are quite different sports from the sort of deep sea diving you might do on a cruise or see on a Jacques Cousteau special. Specialized techniques and equipment abound, and you learn about the thrill of discovering hitherto unknown (if creepy) species in underwater caves, and of retrieving artifacts and solving historical mysteries inside decaying shipwrecks. Neither of these forms of diving are for the faint of heart--they are far more dangerous than regular diving, because of the confined spaces and additional obstacles you face. Because of the focus on cave diving and the author's firsthand accounts of a terrible diving accident he himself experienced, this is a different book (and worth reading as well as) Robert Kurson's Shadow Divers. At the heart of this book lurks the question at the heart of all extreme sports adventure stories--is it courageous or just out and out selfish, especially when you have a family, to put yourself in harm's way (indeed, death's way) in a recreational pursuit? Bernie seems pretty ambiguous about this himself after his own near death experience, and given that he sold off his diving magazine a few years after the book came out, one has to wonder if his opinion has changed even since the book's "it's ok if you play it safe enough" conclusion.

Guillaume Meunier mryome — This book had more twists and turns than a rollercoaster. It really did give me goosebumps at some points. I finished the book at 1:00am, and the shadows on the wall had me a bit creeped out. Some of the details I found predictable but not in an overly obvious bad way. I don't feel like the author put in twists just for the sake of twists, I think they were all thought out to tie the story together. I never really felt drawn to Phoebe, I didn't dislike her but I didn't feel much of a connection with her. Overall I thought it was a very good book, and I am excited to check out her other books.
