Title: Clancy's worst -- don't waste your time or your money
Review: Readers should be paid to read this one -- not have their hard-earned cash separated from them on a pretense. Amazon refused to let me review this with zero stars, but that's all this one deserves.I'm a sucker for books about submarines, both fiction and non-fiction, and have read many entertaining novels on the subject, including Hunt for Red October, which was my first exposure to Clancy, and which I can still point to as a great example of the genre. This one, however, was utterly horrendous. The book was the same scenario, over and over again, horribly repetitive, utterly unimaginative. Outside of a very few, the characters didn't even have names, but were referred to by their billets (the XO, the weapons officer, the sonarman, ad nauseam). I kept reading until the end, figuring it had to get better. Boy, was I wrong. I'll never get that time back again. What a rotten way to spend a summer day.
Is the review positive or negative?
