Title: A good story but some parts are slow.
Review: This book was not one of my favorite Clancy novels. The techno-warfare is accurate and well-researched, and there are a number of exciting parts, but there are also some parts that are slow-reading, drawn out sections that I found boring and/or tedious. I think too much writing was spent on character development for the Clancy fan who is looking for an exciting adventure story that moves at a good clip. The contrast between The Hunt for Red October, which reads at a much faster pace, and Red Storm Rising is vast. I think this book is worth reading but one should be prepared to spend a disproportionate amount of time reading the story.
