5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent read whether you believe it or not, August 15, 1999

This review is from: Romance of Atlantis (Hardcover)

This is a fabulous tale documenting the last days of the fabled city of Atlantis...written by Taylor Caldwell when she was 13, allegedly as a re-incarnated memory, it really is an excellent and intelligent read whether you believe Caldwell or not...it is a real pity it is out of stock...I want a copy -- read it many years ago!!! Please bring it back...oh and for those of you who like a good romance -- it's pretty good too, though not a soppy horrible one, but an intriguing story line too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Altantis sank after loosing their electricity, like y2k bomb, June 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Romance of Atlantis (Hardcover)

This is the 2nd most important book ever written about Atlantis. Janet Taylor Caldwell felt a strong "URGE" to write this story down. She was about 13 at the time. Every one of her books are great reads. But this, her FIRST, is TOPS. Especially in these y2k times when some say many of us here are reincarnated from Atlantis--trying to do 'it' better this time. The first important book on Atlantis is OAHSPE, by Dr. J. Newborough, 1881. These two accounts, written 40 years apart, do not disagree with each other. We need the lessons of Romance in Atlantis NOW. Please Amazon, get the publisher to print 100,000 copies and get them in the hands of potential survivors before the 'last Viking Ship leaves'. (In the story, after the electricity went down, only the 'Vikings' could still control their ships. Everyone else was dying in the heat, without their airconditioning. If millions died this way, over 25,000 years ago--why are there such Egoists now who claim it won't happen to them? Who thinks our race is better than theirs? Or that we deserve yet another chance to make a decent Civilization? For a quick, eery story, read this one. It's only problem is that it's too brief. But that was there lives (or ours?)

5.0 out of 5 stars A worthy and interesting read!, July 12, 2004

This review is from: Romance of Atlantis (Mass Market Paperback)

This is a romance novel, but with a political intrigue element that will keep male and female interested indeed. The incredible thing about this novel, is that Taylor Caldwell wrote this when she was 12! The book is an entertaining twist of maybe accidential cold war history back in the time of Atlantis. Weapon system disarment, overtaxation and a decadent and lazy culture are all discussed against a young and cold weathered enemy. Sound familiar. This should be published agAIN, JUST BECAUSE IT IS GOOD.
