Negative Positive
Title: tedious and unfocused
Review: Tom Clancy has always delivered a great plot, but with The Bear and the Dragon, the plot can be told in about 50 pages of the 1028. Characters, who continue to enter the novel even on page 800, are too many; the plot is tediously expanded with overdone details of military equipment. The plot becomes hard to follow and takes concentration when reading - when all one wants is a good, fun plot as Clancy has delivered in the past. And the overuse of the "f" word gets old.
