I'm not, or wasn't particularly interested in Atlantis, I ordered the book because it had good reviews. I found though, that it was really interesting, and I started developing an interest as I read. The evidence of cross-atlantic trade is facinating, and so is the link into Mexico, the Yucatan, and a trade network from Peru to the Caribbean. Interest is maintained right through. The research is v.good. It really delves deep into the source of the mystery, and there's no silly aliens/new age stuff. I think you'll like it, even if you have no interest in the subject.
