A review by pygment
Celtic Empire by Clive Cussler, Dirk Cussler
1.0
So, I have concerns about this book. It is a book that brings up very real issues of gender imbalance while being misogynistic portrayals of its characters. It also makes the person who is bringing up the gender imbalances into the evil unhinged villain who has turned evil because of a nervous breakdown after a series of abuses by men of her and one of her daughters.
As I write this I keep dropping the number of stars on this review. I had started at three and the more I write the worse I feel about this book. It even ends with a giant middle finger at the person who actually solved this puzzle who is the daughter of the person credited with the solution.
I've been reading these books since high school and they used to be more misogynystic and then got better. This one, however, elevates very real problems of women's rights to the point of being a hysterical evil female, I feel caters to the men who feel that feminism is a dirty word and that people who support it want to emasculate men. This is just obscene.
