It has to be difficult taking on a character created by someone else and getting everything right. It is obviously a little difficult for Max McCoy. There was just something off about Jones' characterization in Hollow Earth. I can't quite put my finger on it. There were moments when it felt like Dr. Jones, and others where it felt like someone trying his hardest to be Indy and not quite hitting the mark. Then there is the story itself, which feels more like three stories mashed into one globe-hopping extravaganza (the crystal skull storyline especially felt forced and extremely out of place in the rest of the adventure). It's almost like McCoy wasn't sure what story he really wanted to tell, so he told them all. The cameo by Belloq was a nice touch, though. Now don't get me wrong, this is certainly an enjoyable read full of Indiana Jones style action and adventure, but it feels more like Rick O'Connell or other later Jones-like characters instead of Dr. Jones himself. Also, several of the crystal skull elements of the story rang a little familiar to Indy 4, and considering this book was written at least ten years before it, I'm left with some perplexing questions about the origins of George Lucas' concept. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
Ingår i serienIndiana Jones (11)
A violent storm, a dying Arctic explorer, and a curious wooden box make Indy the target of fanatical Nazi agents. Inside the box are a slice of Icelandic stone with mythological powers and a journal hinting at the existence of an underground civilization near the top of the world. Indy and Ulla Tornaes, a beautiful Danish scientist, set out into the Arctic wastes, racing against Nazi explorers, to search for the lost city. Their quest will lead them to a massive cavern beneath the snow, portal to the legendary Ultima Thule--the key to Hitler's mad plan for world domination. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

It does share some of that other novel's plot holes, with the Crystal Skull curse again becoming an unnecessary plot divergence, and some of the lines can be clunky and exposition-heavy. And yet again, Indy finds himself mostly doing grunt work (the only real puzzle, towards the end of the book, is explicitly delegated by Indy to another character). The book feels less like an "Indiana Jones" adventure because of these drawbacks, especially in comparison to Philosopher's Stone. But these hiccups are more than counterbalanced by a lot of humour (that actually works) and some surprisingly adept writing from McCoy.
Now that I've read the two Indiana Jones books with the best reputation, I can recommend them both for different reasons. If you want a nostalgia trip, something that really feels like Indiana Jones, go for Philosopher's Stone. But if you want the stronger, more cohesive story, delve into Hollow Earth. ( )
