Title: Big Disappointment
Review: Somewhere in this book there is a plot of about 100 pages, surrounded by 900 pages of the worst writing I have ever seen. I don't expect much in the way of characterization or poetry in a Clancy book, but I do expect at least some effort to put together a grammatical sentence. This reads like a first draft, and not a very good one at that. The tortured use of compound and complex sentences was very distracting. I finally got through this book by skipping all the long lectures and going right to the action. And I am neither a prude nor a follower of the cult of political correctness. Nonetheless, the last two words of this novel were as offensive as anything I have ever read. What a major disappointment!
