Negative Positive
Title: Disappointing and Somewhat Offensive
Review: This book is a only a shadow of the quality and storytelling ability that we have previously come to expect from Clancy.Contrary to many of Clancy's other works, this book demonstrates little or no understanding of China and even begs the question of whether the author has ever visited or indeed spoken to anyone who has visited China within the last 10 years.Even after factoring the necessity for atmosphere and a certain realism in dialogue, this book is clearly bigoted and racist in its treatment, description and characterization of the Chinese in addition to being factually flawed.I have enjoyed at least six of Clancy's previous books, however the Author seemed to be merely going through the motions to make some money here.
Is the review positive or negative?
