Negative Positive
Title: Disapointing at best
Review: I started reading the Bear and the dragon as I was traveling in China. Someone should tell Mr Clancy that today's China is very different from the 80's USSR... I go to China quite often on business and nothing looks slightly familiar to what was described in this book. Government workers do not go to work in gray Mao style suits.....Every thing except thir state of mind is wrong. Anyway that being said, as I read the first chapter, I knew how the book would end up. The plot is predictible, Jack Ryan thoughts are predictible, the use of technology is not even as good as it used to be in the former Ryan series. What a disapointment, Mr Clancy is resting on his laurels trying to pass out his political agenda. Instead of writting mediocre books why doesnot he run for office. He seems to have all the answers..... The book is poorly documented, poorly written, it seems to me that Mr Clancy should retire with Jack Ryan.
Is the review positive or negative?
