Title: Uggh, A complete waste of time and trees.
Review: To compare this book to an 8th grade writing class paper would be an insult to 8th graders everywhere. The plot had all the twists of a steel rod and the characters have the depth of a silicon wafer. The author would have us believe that a complete moron/coward could rise to the level of Executive Officer on a US Nuclear Submarine, that the Commander of the Chinese Navy could be an irrational rabid psychopath, and that the president of the United States is a doddering fool with no sense of national security. I like good military fiction, this book barely rises to comic book stature. Don't make the same mistake I did, the comparison of the reviewers I read to Clancy are grossly overstated. If I were Clancy, I'd sue for slander for even being mentioned in the same room with this book.
Is the review positive or negative?
