Negative Positive
Title: Sickenly verbose
Review: This was my second attempt at reading Clancy and it will be my last. I've read thru boring, repetitive, slow, drawn out submarine chases in "Hunt for Red October" awhile back and thought maybe this would be an improvement but no such luck. This book is just a slow and drawn out and wordy. After drudging thru 500 pages the plot finally starts to unfold and makes sense but it's still disjointed. The other pieces unfold after another 100 or so.What's worse is that he's not even a great story teller. He definitely knows his stuff, I give him credit for that, but when it's overdone it becomes banal so how interesting can that be to read. You might as well read an encyclopedia.
