Title: Not a bad read, but I've read better
Review: The other reviews here are very accurate when they mention the weak ending. Overall, the book is an enjoyable read, save for the one-dimensional characters and horrible ending. The fact that the XO of USS Seawolf is a complete moron doesn't make any sense. Early on in the book, after a slight mishap on the boat, the XO pretty much panics and begs the Captain to surface. A true XO would have kept his cool and dealt with the situation. The Navy would not allow such a spineless ninny to be the XO of a nuclear submarine. So many things in this book were audacious, I felt I had to write a review to vent my frustration. Oh, Patrick, you started so well. What happened, buddy?
Is the review positive or negative?
