Title: Return to your past, Tom
Review: Unlike the book, I shall make this brief. I had been an avid Clancy fan...until now. The Bear and the Dragon is filled with simplistic, stereotyped, and bigoted portrayals of just about everyone. It is filled more with proselytizing and what appears to be Clancy's personal views of the world than with character development. The writing is sloppy with numerous and rediculous repetitions ("yeah Wilbur") and the descriptions of technology are inconsistent, with state-of-the art weaponry and completely out of date personal computers and internet connections. I could go on, but that may be as boring as many of the detailed war scenes. Tom, please return to the creative and careful writing of books past.
