Book Reviews of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (Indiana Jones)

Book Review: The Crystal Skull-Paranormal Science
Summary: 5 Stars

Maui H.S. Coming during a time when I decided to enjoy lighter read books; I couldn't be happier. Indy is drawn into a search for the resting place of the thirteen crystal skulls associated with the ancient Mayans.
Indiana meets up with former associates, but at last with my favorite Indiana Jones character, Marion Ravenhead. I had loved her since the first movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark. After that movie I had hoped Indiana hooked up with her. I loved all Indiana movies, but was always disappointed that a new female figure appeared for love trysts. Yes they were only trysts. I was thrilled that Indiana finally hooked up with my favorite.
The story is never ending action. This story is more never ending action that the other three. I love the Communist bad guys now that the Nazi bad guys are gone. The treks across the jungle are definitely `I cannot put down.'
This book is a typical Indiana Jones action adventure. The twist at the end thrilled me the most. We aren't talking God or other world aliens. We are talking scientific reality. What am I saying? Read the Book! You will love it.

Summary of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (Indiana Jones)

“The name is Jones. Indiana Jones.”

He’s back. Everyone’s favorite globe-trotting, tomb-raiding, wisecracking archaeologist is finally at it again–hurtling headfirst into high adventure and relying on his wits, his fists, and his trusty bullwhip to get him out of deep trouble. But the man in the jaunty brown fedora and battered leather jacket is no ordinary digger in the dirt. From the fabled lost Ark of the Covenant to the legendary Holy Grail, he’s salvaged the world’s most amazing artifacts, while beating the baddest villains and defying the most breathtaking odds.

Now it’s 1957, the atomic age is in full swing, and McCarthy-era paranoia has the nation on edge. But for Indiana Jones, the Cold War really heats up when his latest expedition is crashed by a ruthless squad of Russian soldiers. Commanded by a sword-wielding colonel who’s as sinister as she is stunning, the menacing Reds drag an unwilling Indy along as they brazenly invade American soil, massacre U.S. soldiers, and plunder a top-secret government warehouse. Their objective: a relic even more precious–and powerful–than the mythic Ark, capable of unlocking secrets beyond human comprehension.

Fast thinking and some high-speed maneuvers help Jones turn the tables, and a one-in-a-million escape narrowly saves him from certain death. But when he’s tarred as a suspected spy and fired by his university, Indy thinks it may be time to hang up his hat.

Fate, however, has other plans. Suddenly the road to retirement takes a sharp detour when a colleague’s kidnapping leads Jones into the depths of the Amazon jungle on a desperate rescue mission. With a hot-headed teenage biker as his unlikely wing man and his vengeful new Russian nemesis waiting for a rematch, Indy’s back in the game–playing for a prize all the wonders of the world could never rival.
