Title: Entertaining, but Not What I Expected
Product review: I enjoyed the book and found it entertaining enough to finish within two days, so that should say a lot.However, Sam's character isn't exactly what I would have expected - the author chose to include a large amount of first person dialogue that helps the reader better understand the protagonist, and this dialogue reveals much about his fears and desires, his passions, and other emotions that make the brutal, relentlessly focused spy I remember from the video games much more human. I found myself invested in the book in ways I didn't expect be.What I disliked the most was the small amount of suspension of disbelief required for me to enjoy reading the book that I didn't anticipate from a Tom Clancy novel (basic Hollywoodized bullet misses and the like).Don't expect anything fancy here, as the book is straightforward and to my knowledge doesn't seem to try anything new. Nonetheless, the book was written well enough and I am happy with my purchase.
