Negative Positive
Title: Pretty disappointing
Review: It certainly seems to me that Tom Clancy's political grandstanding seriously detracts from the story. It's getting harder and harder to wade through these massive tomes. Mr. Clancy's political beliefs have always been apparent in his work, but now he seems to feel that his novels are podiums fit for bludgeoning us over the head with. He always has been an excellent storywriter, but the dogma is very much overpowering the story. I find that I as I reread his earlier novels, I enjoy them less because of the civics lessons I was forced to endure in "Rainbow Six" and "Debt of Honor". I certainly could not reccomend this book to a non-fan, and fans should definetely edit as they read. I just hope Mr. Clancy realizes before his next novel is finished, that Ronald Reagan is no longer in need of a speechwriter.
Is the review positive or negative?
