Title: My first WEB Griffin book! Hard to put down!
Product review: Okay, I admit it. I was going to just glance at this book at the bookstore. I had never read any of W. E. B. Griffin's books, I was waiting for somebody, and I picked it up. I do like Tom Clancy novels, and it seemed of that ilk. By Order of the President grabbed me in the first couple of chapters, and I had to buy the darn thing to get home and continue reading it. Are all Griffin's novels like this?Pluses: interesting story, showing the connections in the military and the intelligence communities. Scary given that it was written after, and inspired by, 9-11.Minuses: too much "rag-head" stereotyping, and the Philadelphia sections drag the pace down.My first W. E. B. Griffin book! I look forward to trying another. But after finishing this one, and given that I'm currently reading Jarhead, who DOES capture the military most realistically?
