I really tried.  The basic premise was good- who isn't fascinated by the Bermuda Triangle? However, the characters were one dimensional, boring and dumb, repeatedly jumping into ridiculous situations that should have caused their deaths. After 400 some odd pages, I didn't identify with any of the characters- they were still strangers to me at the end of the book. The writing was choppy and confusing, jumping from past to present to future tense in the same sentence. In the same scene, the sun would set and then it would be so bright and high in the sky they couldn't look towards it. The author would use the same uncommon word- for example, ineffably- twice in the same paragraph. The bad guys didn't inspire dread and the good guys didn't inspire warm fuzzy feelings.Again, the basic idea for the book was great. The author just couldn't pull it off.
